Circuit Board Scales, Krusius Brothers Blade

now that is what i would call a borg razor, it was assimilated

Very nice.. I will give you fair warning when using older motherboards stay way from the copper colored ones unless you seal the scales with CA as a wet blade can cause the copper to stick to the blade and oxidize. Haven't had the issue with any boards with silver wire etching. Also be careful of older motherboards as they may not be lead free.

Now that has to be one of the coolest things I have ever seen... a razor that calculates.
VERY well done... great idea and I really like the look. However, I thought you couldn't get circuit boards wet. lol.

Very cool!

Thanks Guys. So many great comments. Thought I'd reply to a few of many...

I have the same KB blade it is one of my best shavers.

I am looking forward to getting it honed to enjoy the shave. I wound up getting a few other KBs to find the right blade shape for this project. Kinda look forward to what will happen with those others too.

...For many years I worked in the circuit board fabrication industry. A razor after my own heart.

Very well executed, I love how you smoothed it all up.

The one think I don't like about most boards scale is that they are not symmetrical, but you aced that. And very smooth too.

Thanks, trying to give an organic look with the angular material. The printed board has an intricate beauty when you look close at its detail. If you let it, it may be easy to have it take over and become too angular a look though.

But just because horn comes from a bovine, you don't necessarily put a cow theme to horn scales. Just like this material doesn't need to have a space age shape.

There was a guy on here that did these way way back, went by "Garythepenman" or something like that... would have to really dig deep to find it now...

I remember Garythepenman's "Electric Razor".

Gives us a reason to hold on to the mother boards as well as the hard drives

lol, yea, I've thought about those old old Laser Discs and Vinyl Records...hmmm

That's what TRON shaves with. Really nicely done!

Doooh! Green Red and Tron! I didn't even realize I was making a seasonal razor.

Valid point. I think "you" refers in general use? These have been coated well. This not only makes it more comfortable to use, but I suspect retains long time usability. Lead free may also be valid, but many of my old razors aren't lead free either.

haha sure you CAN. Everyday someone drops their phone in the, er, can. The iphone innards may be a little small. Anybody have a dunked ipad out there?

[rostfrei]

Superb and it has a story behind it to give it cachet ;-)

[PaulK]

All I can say is wow. Those scales look fantastic. I might have to try that myself.

Excellent craftsmanship!!! I really like the placement of the intracate details of circuit board with the flow of the scales . It looks like it would light up and blink. Very cool!
