Thread: Latest custom builds

Hello guys,

I’ll just drop the last three custom straights on for you to have a look at

The first one is a Japanese kamisori style (although westernised), the blade was a full wedge and measured 8/8”, the blade guard is natural horn with pewter wedges fastened with a leather cord and chromed toggle.

The second was modelled on a Wade & Butcher barbers use I was working on, the blade is a 9/8” wedge and to give it a little extra grip I cut some jimps into the spine, natural horn scales and pewter wedge

And the third one is the prettiest razor I’ve made to date, it’s a 8/8” wedge with natural horn scales, pewter wedge and I’ve double pinned it on the wedge end.



All made from O1 tool steel three times heat treated and oil quenched then tempered at 150deg c (300deg f) to achieve a rockwell of C62 ish.

I’ve got to admit I’m really loving making these razors and I’m getting really good so I think I’m going to keep going and make as many as I can.
