What's new

Does anyone here make their own razors?

Another early one. 8/8 half hollow. I love the weight and the size. I'm sure you can tell i started by making knives.

Curly maple is not a good razor scale material. 5160 steel is not a good razor steel. That much smile is a ***** to hone. And 0.260" spine width leaves the bevel angle around 20 degrees. These are all realizations i had the more i learned about razors. I do still shave with it on occasion but it is a lot of work to get shave ready.
