Thread: Hello from South Africa

Hi and welcome aboard. Lovely looking razor

Thank you all for the welcome . I am sure there are a few guys here i will know ! I have asked for advice from many makers and looked at the work of even more makers , seen some really stunning stuff ! I have also taught a few guys what i know and i am busy putting together a tutorial on how to go about making a razor, purely because when i started i could not find anyone willing or able to help me and i want this game to grow . I have made about 400 shave-able razors so far and i plan on making very many more , i post a lot of my work on Instagram jack_connan but i will post here too when i have found the right place to do so (witch may take me a while because i am a FREDiot and i read slow) , till then , here is another one , this one is more of an EDS blade

Very nice. Extremely hollow for the width. That shows real craftsmanship. I lose some clarity blowing it up. Is that an etch or an engraving on the blade face? I assume that's micarta used for the scales?

Hi Paul , yes i do like full and extra hollows and super thin ! If it doesn't sing , it is not thin enough !
All the markings on the blade are acid etched with ferric chloride using a photo resist spray , and the scales are carbon fiber with a thin G10 liner to get some color on the scales

Welcome to the forum jack - I’m a fan and looking forward to see more of your razors.
