Hi There
i am a new member looking to get started with making straight razors. I have been making custom knives for some time purely as a hobby and but would like to now start on making my own razors.
have been reading posts on here which are great and would like to both learn and contribute to the forum.
Welcome to SRP from CQ
where in Aus are you located his will help find others in your area possibly for mentoring etc
pleanty of reading here especially the workshop forums to get you started
Sydney! I'll update my profile. Thanks for the heads up.
you have some great lads down your way that should be able to help you along
G'day from W.A. !!....with your background in knifemaking you must have a good workshop setup ?
You'll find most of what you need to get started here, a great knowledge base and friendly people.
Enjoy the ride :)
Sydney...huh. I suppose you are not a Bruce. You know the drill. No Pooftas :)
Welcome Mate. You should get along swimmingly! Tons of Aussies here!
Bruce
Welcome! :) Please excuse Bruce, he was dipped in a vat of Monte Python as a child and now it just spills out of him at random moments.
Look forward to catching you around the forums.
James.
G'day mate, and welcome to SRP !!
Yeah I've got a good little backyard set up. Still want to get my hands on a surface grinder when a cheap one becomes available.... You know what they say "he with the most tools wins".
Hi downunder from a rather cold Queensland. As you might have worked out from what the others have said, you've come to right place!
Hi and welcome. Sure you will find all the info you need and if not just adk and someone will lend a hand. Now to convert you to shaving with a straight.
G'Day and welcome.
If you are ever up this way, let me know and we can try and catch up.
G'day & welcome to the 'Place'.
I don't 'make' but if I wanted to I'd get my hands on as many razors as possible & take measurements. Also study scale design.
It's all a mousetrap that can't be made better except for those @#&*! asymmetric tangs. :)

G'day and welcome DU(h);). I don't know of any makers in Sydney, but we have a bloody good one here in Brisbane. Stu (stra8raz0r) makes some awfully pretty stuff. Talk to him for ideas. He's a top bloke and won't steer you wrong.
