Thread: Kenny Powell Razors?

Anyone have any Kenny Powell razors? I recently aquired a used one and would love to see and hear how yours is.

Never heard of them. Can you post a pic?

I mean, he has a website that appears to be up to date and functioning. Is this not the case?

Yup but no contact info or order info there that i saw....

Many of the designs seem to be more for display then actual shaving. There are some pretty cool looking razors on the website but most of them seem bulky and awkward.

True but i must admit, and perhaps im bias of course, but the one i have works really well...my 2 fingers fit into the tail perfectly and offer incredible control.....stropping is tough admittabily...

There are all kinds of crazy designs out there in razors. Many are true custom pieces and are of great quality but to me it's the old form vs function thing. A razor is number one a tool and as such it needs to be made not only to shave with but for stropping and honing and anything that compromises any operation pretty much says it all about the piece.

My opinion of course.

Agreed. That blade may look pretty to some eyes, but all I see is a tang getting caught up in my fingers and causing me to slice the hell out of my strops!
