Hey guys there was a vendor on ebay selling custom progress knobs at a good price. I can;t find them any more, does any one know any one else who makes these handles.
Cooncatbob and Pureslab both have replacement custom knobs and as far as I know Pureslab is the only one to put them on eBay. I haven't seen him posting on B&B for a while, but he's been on the other shaving sites. Both Bob and Pureslab do great work from what I've seen and you wouldn't go wrong contacting either of them.
FWIW, I think Mer does a whole upgrade to your progress to line things up to the knob he makes. I have 2 custom knobs from Bob and 2 Mergresses and love them all.
Do a search for iKon razor either here or using Google and you'll get an idea of Pureslab's work and his contact information. He has one of his razors on the 'bay at the moment. If you want to get hold of him, send him a PM. He also sells Feather blades at really good prices. He's just great to deal with.
Here's a post that I recently posted in another thread:
Mer on this forum makes them. I have one. It's one of the best out there. The "short" knob makes the razor into a work of art. It's heavy, beautifully balanced and beautiful to look at. I can't imagine using a long knob that would be too heavy IMO.
He makes all sorts of designs including square brass ones.
Look here:
If you want an adjustable, Cooncatbob of bobsrazorworks also will customize a progress to your specs. Bob also makes non-adjustables and his Bull Mastiff model is a beauty. Check him out as well:
And last but not least is Pureslab on this forum who makes stainless steel razors under the iKon name. Check him out as well. He's got one on the 'bay right now, just search iKon razor. He also has various designs.
He is selling the short handle or long handle replacement knobs for $19 delievered unless his price has gone up. Very easy to change out. This is an all stainless steel one piece. His work is total quality. I have one of his ikon all stainless steel open comb razors. His online store is to open soon acording to him as ikonrazors.com
