Superior Cuts 3-D Printed Razor

[Cal]

I honestly haven't been able to tell a difference between the SB and "OC".

I guess you must be a cap rider then, Stikeyoda.

Probably more because I've only used the 0.40 plates so far. But you could be right too, cognitive biases trying to not like it. Lol

7th "Superior cuts" SOTD

Brush: Shavemac "Kleiner Bayer" Silvertip D01 2-Band 14/42
Soap: Phoenix Atomic Age Bay Rum
Razor: Superior cuts OC 0.8 [3D printed razor] (7)
Blade: Gillette 7o'clock Black (3)
ASL: Osage Rub

Another fine shave.

That's my seven-shave trial of the "Superior cuts" OC razor completed. It's an excellent razor for sure!
My New Year's Resolution is to have the first YELLOW "Superior cuts" OC set (with a 75mm handle).

Next shave, I think I'll give my somewhat neglected GRAIL RAZOR (SS OC Blackbird on lightweight handle) a little attention.


Happy shaves guys.

My New Year's Resolution has just been fulfilled. LINK

3D printed or not, I love the idea of a plastic safety razor. It won't ever corrode and it won't break if it drops. I'm really surprised that there are no real options for good quality plastic safety razors apart from the Wilkinson Classic or some vintage bakelite razors.

Phoenix have quite a few ABS Open Comb slants. They're good razors.

An excellent shave.

My first shave with the Superior cuts SB baseplate was really good. For my style of shaving — most of my strokes are buffing style and the blade never leaves the skin on the backstroke — so I like the smooth safety bars. Gotta say I'm really impressed, and I love the color!


Happy shaves guys.

I am sure there are people who could turn to junkin short time, even a 3D Razor of Plastic Razor.

@Cal I never thought I would like a plastics/printed razor, but this one looks fabulous. I am still shocked by this pink monster razor called "Naranja" from PAA, some forum members made a sport of tormenting me by mentioning that pink handle.

They're great, Iridian. But then I like LIGHTWEIGHT razors (this one [loaded and including my O Rings] weighs 17 grams]. I know you prefer heavy razors.

I like the color, orange-ish as Phoenix describe it. But I would definitely NEVER own a pink razor.

It's time for tungsten filament, isn't it?!
The O-rings and the yellow color are outstanding, and it seems to shave nicely as well. I think I could adjust to the weight or put something into the handle!

At that point, you are back to the Blackland ERA....

What is the diameter of the handle?

What size O-Rings did you use, Cal @Cal? Also what lengths are your two SC handles?

Thanks,

Jim

PAA says it's orange for Halloween, but they're sold out. Maybe I can buy myself a pink or orange razor next fall.

(Maybe I will, but probably I won't.)

The Superior Cuts razor looks very interesting. It's more likely for me than "a Halloween Pink."

Happy shaves,

Jim

 

[Cal]

What is the diameter of the handle?

The central part (with the handy grooves for positioning O-Rings precisely) is 12mm.

What size O-Rings did you use, Cal @Cal?

9mm x 2mm

Also what lengths are your two SC handles?

I ordered 75mm for both my original gray Sc and my new Yellow Sc.

Thanks, Cal.

A 12 mm handle is not ideal for me, but it's not so thin as to make the diameter a deal breaker.

I have a handy set of assorted sizes of O-Rings. Not metric sizes, but I can figure it out.

Thanks and happy shaves,

Jim

Do you know what type of filament these are made of? Some materials will warp over time if exposed to water. I printed a lathering bowl recently, and it hasn't started warping yet. I ended up getting a ceramic bowl from Italian Barber just because I love the look, however.

Here's the link to the bowl on Thingiverse, for those who want to do some printing:

Ultimate Shaving Bowl by ljblk

Shaving soap lathering bowl with a few added features. Built-in Vortex™ technology to get a really good lather, fast. Also has a brush wiper so that excess soap riding up the bristles can be added back into the bowl. Can be printed any way you like, does not need support.
