    Default Blake's razor





    This razor came about from something Luis said in this post about a toy straight razor for his son Blake.
    #185


    I had a frowning rusty 9/16 Geneva Pyramid that was not really worth saving so I took it down to 2.5" & totally breadknifed it . Ground off most of the rust, smoothed every edge, rounded every point & made sure there were no burrs or anything spiky protruding & then pinned it up to some spare Genco scales I had. It is so not shaveready I tested it by trying to cut my wrist.. No bleeding, no pain but it still felt freeky.


    You can see a size comparison with a regular size 5/8 Pyramid in the pics below.


    I think the monkey tail is the most dangerous part of the razor now but as safe & blunt as it is, I trust Luis will keep it out of reach & only allow Blake to use it under his strict supervision.


    It is not so much a toy razor but a training aid & may even be too large for Blake's hands atm but he can grow into it.

    That is so cool, I'm wishing I had a son of my own now.

    WOW Oz

    You are amazing. I can't believe how amazing it looks. Blake is going to go crazy over it. I was initially blown away at the idea and after seeing it I am speechless. You are a true artist. During my post I was merely showing my pride in my son and thought how cool it would be if he had something a bit cooler. You took a father's sentiment and granted me an early Christmas wish. Thanks again. You are awesome.

    Oh, I forgot to mention that Oz did not charge me for Blake's razor. He is beyond classy and I am exceedingly grateful for his kindness. Thanks again.

    That's great, learning from the old man at such a young age. Think he wil be exstatic!

    Mastering implies there is nothing more for you to learn of something... I prefer proficient enough to not totally screw it up.

    She's a beauty Oz. I love the tartan scales.
    Can I just say that Oz and guys like him, who are so willing to give back to the SRP community, are what make this forum such a stand out.
    Well done Oz and congrats to Luis and Blake.
