Heirloom razor from my pop. Scales and blade clean up done by @Substance, very happy with it! Timber is Acacia acuminata, a wattle endemic to WA. One we grow for host tree for our Sandalwood. Dense wood with a sweet smell in the heartwood, which is how it acquired the common name "jam" or "raspberry jam".
