Thread: rigarazor

Awesome razors fellas, one day soon I will have a Riga

I only have tested one of them. It shaves very smooth. The other one is for my friend.

New RigaRazor from Sergej just arrived....

I wanted one in the old Sheffield Wade & Butcher, For Barbers Use style, massive Chopper of course, and nicely hollow ground as if done by a street grinder in the 19th century...

So this turned out beautifully, 29mm or 11/8 of Tungsten steel, which in my opinion, feels very close to the old Sheffield steel, perhaps more wishful thinking than reality on my part, but it floats my boat

Couple of pics then off for a shave....

Awfreakinsome!!!!!!!

Dang that sure is one very nice razor my friend

Man! He does some nice work. Hopefully, the 'battleaxe' era of custom razors is about done?

What a massive blade! I just sold off one of my 10/8's, because it won't fit under my nose, lol.
The shape is perfect and the finish extremely nice.
Enjoy many good shaves with it in good health!

Is there a website for these? Or only on the bay?

Too big for me, but loving the look of the Sheffield style chopper.

Yeah. At 10/8, seeing that in person is a whole 'nother thing, I would bet.
Looks like a razor should look, though! For cattle!

Wonder what Cheetahmeat is doing these days?

I agree Tom. Would love to get my hands on a extra hollow mild smiler in a nice 7/8.

Nice interpretation and I wholly agree,
However, my intent was to express how the razor does NOT resemble a battleaxe!
This man can and will build traditional-type razors.

They look darn nice.
I totally like that!
