Hi All,
we had a great meet in Brisbane, and after scratching our heads cannot think of anyone {other than me} making straight razors in Australia. Lots of restorers doing amazing work, but i am wondering if anyone knows of anybody in Australia making razors from scratch?
Give me some more time mate and I will be trying my hand at it too, but for now I'll just watch and learn.
One of these days...............
No one that I know of.
I know one or 2 guys dabbled in the past but no one is at it commercially in Auz AFAIK.
There was an ebay listing for an Australian razor made by W Woolhouse (IIRC) a month or two back but that was a genuine antique.
I made one, Just to see if I could. It came out OK for a first try, and shave quite well. I've since changed the grind and use it as a utility knife (because I needed one of those more than another razor).
I'll make some more when time allows. One day.
