Thread: Collaborative razor

Many razors are made today by the single craftsman in his shop. Only by him. I see many times that i like one aspect of a finished product but not all.

Has anyone thought about getting a collaborative together and using the best of everyone to make a product?

2 to 10 people to make a razor. Sort of a factory that can be spread around.

I may be good at making pattern welded steel but I can't grind, make scales or hone worth a darn for example.

Would this work?

Just a thought on a Saturday night.

Well lets see if the guys who can craft different parts reply.

I have thought about that actually. More along the lines of buying a premade blade by someone like Bruno and putting the scales on it myself. I do like making boxes too so there are aspects of it that I can contribute to and there is a lot of black sand where I live, but I have no idea how it goes from black sand to a billet.

A Bruno blade in RezDog scales and presentation box!

That is what I am thinking about.

Cam you hone and pin worth a darn?

I think so!

About RezDog's honing ability. The one he honed for me shave good!

I am sorry if I offended you and that wasn't my point.

you make great scales and bruno makes great blades.

If we could get together craftsmen whose skills compliment each other the final product would be amazing.

Thanks Roger.
Tim I am not offended. It is actually a valid question and I could not resist the cheeky response. No feathers ruffled here.

I made a razor that rolodave assembled into scales made by geezer. A three person collaboration. Does that count?

We can all meet in Racine and be the judge!

Different parts from different people.

Can we get the best from multiple people or we limited to the weakness of one individual?
