I am taking a machinist course for the fun of it and I always wanted to learn this skill. We had two projects in class and after that we could make our own projects.

I decided I would make a razor handle for a Maggard's slant head. Below is the result - again this is a first try and I tried to stick to a basic design for now. I originally was going to make it in brass but the material didn't show up in time so I grabbed a piece of aluminum. I am going to try my hand at anodizing but it is usable for now.

My question is for anyone else out that that has machined a handle. The Maggard's head uses a 10-32 thread. Does anyone know if the other razors use the same thread or are the different companies using different threads?

I shave with straights but keep my DE's for those days I am rushed to get out the door.
