Wooden Razors

[turbine712]

Hi,
I have 2 Grandchildren that really like to se Grampa shave. their ages are 4-9yrs old. I had the youngest, who lives with us, try to get into my razors to check them out. Lucky thy were up high enough so he couldn't get to them. he watches me shave and I have an old SS DE that is his, however he wanted a straight just like Grampa. So, I went out to the shops and made him one. Now he can stand on his stool at the sink and pretend to shave just like Grampa.
Well this got my wife's attention and she said you should offer this to your forum friends. Well I thought about it and decided to make an offer to B&B as well as SRP friends. If your interested, please go to the vendors thread and look for "Wooden razors". All the information will be there.
Here is what I made:
Thanks,
Bill Wilcox

That is really neat. Makes me wish I knew a kid to give one to.

That's Awesome! I doubt my daughters would appreciated it, but it's awesome.

What a great idea! If I had kids they would be getting one.

That's Awesome! I doubt my daughters would appreciated it, but it's awesome.

Actually I have one gentleman who is having one made for his daughter.
There is even a person who wants one to have on his desk at work. They not only are cool kids toys but can be used for any number of things.

Awesome! But let's see... if you strop a metal razor on a balsa wood hone, do you strop a wooden razor on a metal hone (pasted of course)?

This would also be great for newbs practicing shaving with 2 hands, but watch out for splinters!

Cool, maybe I should get one to keep by the butter dish in the kitchen . That'd really drive SWMBO nuts, but the kids would LOVE it.

*dying to make a "shave ready" joke*...

With all this talk about exotic razors why not hone it up and try shaving with it. Is it "hardwood". We'll be waiting for your report.
