Thread: My first razor I made myself

Very nice. Love the shape and the scales set it off nice.

Excellent. The first successful one is very special to the maker. It looks good, I hope the other nine are as well made.

Very cool!
looks like you did your homework in learning what a razor should be like to start with. Would love to see the extreme smiling blades. Thats got to be tough grinding.

It so happens that Mariusz is a friend of mine here in Warsaw and I had the pleasure to have this razor in my hands on Saturday. What can I say? A beatiful piece of work! The picures don't reflect the details like the perfect finish of the scales. Ironcally this razor was meant to be a fail for learning purposes. It was the last bit of the steel and the razor came out a bit short thus the strange look of the tang. However, as you can see, everything ended in a success. The whole process was full of ups and downs but Mariusz did not give up and bravely made it to the end. Well done and hope to see the rest of the shown blades finished!

Wow, all I can say is the OP did a damn fine job of it especially considering it was a first time effort. I hope the rest turn out just as well when finished.

Thank you all very much for a good word. It is very kind of you and motivating in further action.

Awesome work!
You have a beautiful basement workshop too.
I look forward to seeing more in the future.

Wow-I think that is the most impressive series of posts I've seen on here in awhile. I love your workshop, and your attention to detail really shines through. Plus you're grinding Saito-style blades too?! A Saito is on my razor bucket list-I might pm you about one of yours.

Bravo! To jest wspaniała brzytwa! Doskonałe!
