Edging around my goatee with whatever SR I'm using has never been a problem for me, but touching up around my handlebar 'tache causes a few issues. I needed a smaller, shorter, easier to handle SR to very carefully trim my 'tache just a couple of mm above my top lip and to avoid cutting into the longer handlebar areas. Hence this little project...
I bought a cheap, damaged 42 Garantie Paris 4/8 razor. I slowly cut the blade down to 1.3ins (35mm), rounded the spine but left a spike point. I cut it slowly, stopping and starting to avoid heat build up. It was then polished on progressive compounds. The next step is to make some new scales, then hone, strop and use! The last pic shows how small it is next to a Union Cutlery Spike.
