Thread: Historic Grinding Technologies

Hi Folks,
I am member here at SRP since about 9 years now.
I have been exploring the old thuringian quarries for razor hones for about the same time. Even longer I am in the field of sharpening knifes and razors. Since more than 5 years I have been travelling around Germany to visit, speak and learn from old grinders.
I took over a lot of grinding equipment and have my own grinding workshop running for about two years now. Sharpening knifes, scissors and of course my main interest is on razors:

Grinding - Restoration of vintage straights - Honing




On my webside I am selling vintage NOS and restored razors as well as new good quality straights also honing stones and other stuff that has to do with grinding or shaving.

Beside that I am still exploring the history, techniques and methods of the old german grinding schools. I will part with informations on this -as far as it belongs to straight razor production - also here on SRP with separate threads.

If you are intersted in vintage knife and scissors grinding methods, love old machines and tools and want to see or learn how they work, please also visit my webside. I will share informations there from time to time.

Traditional grinding workshop


Hope to see you there soon!

Remaining with the good old German Grinders regards:

Well sharp!

Peter
