Thread: Bruno's Blade Club

Just emailed Bruno the other day, he said he will be starting mine next Friday...

It might be fun to show the construction process of creating your own razor from a BrunoBlade, so that's what I'll start here. ATTN MODS: I promise not to clutter the thread with excessive posts and dreck. Just the guts to show the steps one takes to make a wonderful shaver from the stock Bruno provides.

The attached pic is what your blade looks like when you receive it from Bruno. There was a lot of collaboration between us in determining the style of blade he'd make for me, which made me feel like I'd had as much to do with the razors creation as I possibly could without a forge . I've got a lot of hand sanding ahead...starting tonight!

Love the shape of this one, just superb. Looking forward to watching the progress. I'll try to do the same when mine arrives but you'll be a few steps ahead of me.

Also looking forward to seeing what shape scales you go for with this blade!

Kind of a ballpark idea...carbon fiber.

that is a wild looking blade Entropy
when you rotate the scales open will the scales tail clash with your face or neck being so long?

This is definitely something you have to consider when making scales. Also you have to keep in mind how they will align when in the open/stropping position.

yes I think they would difinately interfer when stopping unless you held then at 90° to the blade
oh the fun of designing LOL
I have drawn about 20 different desgns so far, cut 5 out of black card to lay over the blade drawing photo to see how it all looks & still tinking of more each day LOL

Yup, ergonomics will be tricky :P. Stropping is going to be a cusser regardless, but I'll try some cardboard before I start cutting carbon fiber to try to get a feel.

Have a look at your design and then rotate it as you would if you were stropping the razor. Where is that giant tail on the scales going to fall?

Mike - can't wait to see what you come up with............
