Hello from South Africa

**RazorJack** · 07-26-2020, 05:28 PM

Hello everybody , my name Is Jack Connan, i am an addict (addicted to beautiful razors) and i do not want to be unanimous . I am a Knife maker and full hollow razor snob from South Africa
I started shaving with straights about 20 years ago with a razor someone gave me a few years before , somewhere along the way i dropped the razor and cracked the blade . fast forward a few years and i became a knife maker , then a member of the knifemakers guild of South Africa , as a knife maker i tried fixing that old razor (it really was nothing special) and failed miserably , so i decided to make myself a razor , witch failed again ! At this stage i decided that it would become my life's mission to make the best custom razors in the world ! After thousands of hours of research and many failed attempts , i made a razor that could actually shave . This was in 2012 , i have since made many flops and in recent times made a few that shave really nicely . I am not the best out there yet , but i am still trying my best to make the best and can not see myself stopping any time soon !

Welcome, Jack, interesting design, your work reminds me of Stu's work AKA Boxer razors from Australia.
