Hello from Aus!

Hello everyone. The name is Luke. I’m from Melbourne Australia and I’m an aspiring razor maker. I’m currently using stock removal method on some 1075 steel although i want to move in to forging my own razors but that’ll happen in time! I’ve got a ton of questions and hope I’m in the right place. I usually end up here on a thread or two when googling questions I have about razors! Glad to be apart of this community. Cheers, Luke!

Welcome to the forum. :)

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone! So I’ve made my first kamisori style razor (still needs a little work aesthetically) but it’s functional none the less... now I’m not the most talented bloke when it comes to producing facial hair (think joe dirt, all white trash and patchy) but tonight I finally had enough growth to trim the neck line and cheeks a little with my own handmade razor and I have to say. As a guy with sensitive skin this was the MOST comfortable shave I’ve ever had and I’ve only used a straight razor twice in my life! I’ve got the bug and I’ll be practicing the art of shaving and continue to learn and make more razors!

Hi and welcome from the west. Sure you'll find all you need to know or someone who can help.

Welcome Luke!

Welcome to the forum Luke.

Hi Luke & welcome aboard. You're in the right place. There are several razor makers here, some forging their own steel so absorb it like a sponge & good luck with you razor making!

Welcome to SRP! You are definitely in the right place... Enjoy your journey and post pics along the way for all of us! :D
