G'Day from Australia
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.

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

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.

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".
