Thread: WIP Straight Razor

I shave me since 2 year with straight razor. I tried a lot of time with various success to make some razor. I succeed 2,5 time to make one really efficient. For the last one i did i take picture.

I used a 100MnCrW4 (O1) 5,9 thick plate. I draw the blade. It will be a simple 5/8. I cut with a stainless steel cutting disk.

Some 60 belt grit grind after.

The shape is more or less OK

I drilled the pivot hole to 3,8mm

I reamed the pivot to 4mm

The blade is drilled.
