Thread: Scottish Razor Co.

In that case I do apologize to the OP and hope that he will spend more time here and less time in the den of iniquity.

Lol. He is new. I told him he would be better off hanging around here. A wealth of knowledge and friendly people. I wasn't sure about this razor co. But figured maybe someone here has reviewed them

Thank you for sorting me out. I would hate to have been responsible for chasing him away. I do think my point was valid in general but glad that it was wrong in this case.

I completely understand and would be questioning as well. I didn't realize he had never posted.

I checked the page out. The one thing that jumped out at me was in his custom razor description he states
"The razors are hollow ground on an 8″ contact wheel, resulting in a 1/2 to 1/4 hollow grind"
Unless it's a really big razor he's not getting a 1/2 hollow off a 8" wheel.

I'm thinking I've seen some of those razors before.. maybe before he had a "mark".. just can't place it at the moment.

Some very nice custom scales on his site. Can't fault those. Is he forging his own razors from blank steel or just customising existing razors such as GDs? I didn't find any mention of the forging/shaping process, just a grinder with an 8" wheel. Hmmmmm?

Good point wayne

I'm thinking he is buying the steel to make his razors but you never know. I did send him an email asking about his razors but have not heard back yet. Like Wayne..........hmmmmmm

I just went back to find reviews & either I'm in a hurry or I can't find them.
Well, I remember reading one that said he got an 8/8" razor & it was about 1/16" over 8/8".
Reviews are now gone.

that is strange. I only found 1 page from the search results. I remember there being more as i was also considering to purchase.
