Hi! I am new to Straight Razor Places

Hi Everyone! My name is Tim Troyer and I am a custom knife maker by hobby. I love straight razors and shaving with them. I started making straight razors a little while ago, but am now trying to get serious about them. I am here to learn all I can. I forged this one from W2 and the scales are black and brown Micarta with toxic green G10 liners. I need to learn to hone them and continue to improve my technique. It is fun to look through this forum and learn all that I can. The name of my forge is "Sugarcreek Forge" and that is also the name of my YouTube channel.

It's great to see more and more knifemakers taking a shot at razors.

I'm glad you're here!

I've seen some of your videos on U-tube, good stuff. Glad to see you around.

Good luck with your SR making! Welcome to SRP.

Welcome to the forum.

Good luck with the razor making. Pics are always welcome

Welcome and good luck.

It's great to see this craft as well as wet shaving making a comeback.

Welcome! I like micarta and hope to get some scales some day..I've got it on a knife and it feels great when wet. The sharp point on the heel of that one makes me bleed just looking at it....

Welcome to SRP Tim. That's a beautiful first razor that most any of us would be proud to own. I'd like to see a shot of it where you can see the toxic green liners. It can only get better from here. I can't wait to see what the future holds.
Enjoy the ride!
