Thread: Project coochie razor

Wow, looks like a couple guys beat me to the coochie razor. Fine work, gentlemen! Today the mailman brought me two goodies; the Weck Shavette thing pictured in this thread, and a little 3" X 1/2" straight blade in need of some scales. I bought some 1/16" brass rod at the hardware store for use as pin material. Now I need to find something to make a handle out of.

PS, Icedog, where do you get those disposable blades? They're a lot smaller than a standard single-edge. Maybe I should snap a DE in half & make up a sleeve for it like the Dovo Shavette.

how about using a feather razor? That way you can always guarantee a sharp razor. Even if i have to run it through a cork a couple times to kill the machined edge alittle. Only problem now is....THE WIFE!

Okay so my regrind obviously wasn't the first but I thnk it has good company, I do believe the PCR brotherhood has been born. Now if we can just get a logo Hope, So what does everyone think for the first attempt? I think it turned out fairly well, There are a few "scars" from the vise but other than that I think it looks pretty good. I was really impressed with how easy the tip was to reshape. I may end up having custom scales inlayed for it as I don't have the inlay equipment to make it look good. Here's to the PCR brotherhood, may we always be aware of the risk that is taken but the reward as well!!!!!

I'm no artist, but I'm sure someone could concoct an image of an open razor where the scales are one leg and the toe of the blade is the other and both come down into a pair of high heels. The tang could be ... well, the tang. Or for the sake of remaining tasteful, we could throw a skirt on it. Lots of potential here

I would have more input here if I had a willing C to start a PR on.

As for the peer pressure, don't take this as peer pressure, but on an off note if concentration can be maintained, it is easier to shave someone else than one's self as you can actually see what you are doing from all angles.

Hey J,

I'm glad you got that thing. I have no idea where one would find blades. I never saw anything like it. I thought you'd be able to hone the one that is on there.

I don't know about a coochie razor per se, but maybe that thing could be a coochie shavette!

Also, at the risk of doing this:, did everyone notice this thread has over 200 responses?
