    Default Made my first razors

    These are the first razors I made, they are a mix of stainless and O1 steel blades with synthetic handles. They are currently being tested by some experienced straight users.

    I like the looks of them but really could not say much more without shaving with one or honing one. No, not asking to be a tester. Let us know how the testing goes. Good luck to you as I think you are on the right track as far as I can tell from the photos.

    I like what I see. That said, I like, even more, the statement that they are being tested by experienced users. Good luck and continued success!

    Clean traditional styling... If they hone up and keep an edge, I'd say you have a winner.

    Very nice lines, and a style that I think is nice to start with. Some "first" razors I've seen have a bizarre or outlandish shape to them. Nice job, and I hope your testers find that they hone up and shave well, and keep an edge.

    They look like very classic designs. Are you planning to try different point styles?

    I hope you let us know when you are ready to make your razors available for purchase.
