Thread: 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.
