Thread: 3d printing and shaving gear

Hello,

My name is Ivar and i am new to the forum (i have always being viewing this site as a guest, and it has belped me in learning how to shave, so thanx ;D ).
i have being shaving with a straight razor for over 3 years know, but are currently using a shavette for daily shaving.

but that is not what is topic is about, because i recently came with the idea of using 3d printing (printing of 3d object) in combination with my shaving gear. The 3d printing can be done in various materials (ceramics, stainless steel, and plastics)


These are the ideas i have currently:

- a shaving bowl printed in ceramics,

With my current shaving bowl i always get the soap on my hands which makes everything slippery, furthermore does it take some time to make the foam. so i thought this could be better. i have created ribbed pattern at the bottom of the bowl, for faster foam generating. then some additional ridges to prevent the foam from rising out of the bowl.

- a blade dispenser,

I have purchased a large variaty of DE blades and now i want some sort a storage. the current design will store about 120 blades and has a slot at the bottom so i can easily slide one out for use.

- DE Razor holder

This is designed to fit into a cabinet using the standard holes already drilled in the side.

-straight razor display stand

i have now 2 straight razors and 2 shavette, and all of them have a differnt box. I wanted one universal 'thing' to store the blades. i'm not sure yet about this, i'm working on some other ideas, perhaps some sort of small boxes which can be stacked.

These are the designed i have ordered with the 3dprinting company, and expecting the first delivery the end of this week and the next delivery a week later. i will post picture when it arrives
i would like to hear what you guys think. and perhaps have some suggestions.

with kind regards
Ivar

ps. I Know my english is not perfect so please be kind.
