Default Genco triplets

The first custom scales I've done in a while now; my first with epoxy finish too. Feels kinda nice to get some done again.

All the razors are genco - one of my favourite brands - refinished to 400grit polished satin finish. I'm liking this epoxy finish. It's highly similar to CA, and almost as good, but requires much less effort, which I like

individual pictures can be seen here. Oh and they're all for sale, though one was sold before going into the classifieds.
EDIT: They've been sold. Another Genco lover snatched them up quick

Love the shape & flow of those scales.
Sweet finish.

Chechen, Purpleheart and Pau Amarillo (aka yellowheart). Three of my favourite woods. When finished, they each have a certain iridescence that makes the wood change hue slightly under light. The effect is almost impossible to convey by photo, but when you move them around under bright light, it's noticeable. Here's a short video of the effect I made a while ago.

Those scales are beautiful. A rubbed finish is classy.

that center one I think was the best looking fo the bunch, they're all fantastic though. I love the way those epoxy finishes give depth to the finish.

what wood was the center one?
