Thread: The PI razor aka the hanging edge razor

Excellent work again
Thought it was a Kamisori to start with while reading then saw the pivot whole and the rest of the pics as a kept reading LOL

Nice! But how does it shave?

Cheers.

Gorgeous and unique!

I don't even have to think twice about who the owner is

That also tells me that next in line is the napier's razor, just as a warm up for the riemann's zeta function razor...

shaves at a HRT-PI level, of course

I thought Kamisori as well and then it got more interesting. I think you have taken razor art to a new level.

When I read this I wondered if it might be better to drill the holes for the slots and then finish the slots after the grinding was complete?

Just thinking not trying to be a backseat driver!

I considered that. It's a tradeoff.

Opening it up before HT has the advantage that you can start filing inwards without having to drill holes first. Drilling the holes isn't as easy as it sounds because I forge all blades to size. This means that the blade portion is already wedge shaped. Drilling through slanted surfaces can be a bit tricky. If I started with a rectangular piece of stock, it would indeed have been a no brainer.
