Low Tech Frameback
Here is the page that shows how I built my frameback razors. I felt a little funny about posting this link after this evening. I am in St Paul MN this week attending a workshop for work. Randy Tuttle took me to visit Doc Molenaar’s and Mike Blue’s shops this evening. While at Mike’s shop he tested the hardness of the blades on two of my framebacks. One came out at 50 Rockwell C the other at 49Rockwell C this was quite a surprise to me. I have been shaving for about a month with the razor that tested at 50 with one touch up on a pasted hanging strop. I would rate the razor as one of my top shavers. The razor that came out at 49 is the latest razor that I made, I have not test shaved with it yet..
I have learned three (really more) things
(1) my heat treating in not what I thought it was
(2) that a razor can be at 50RC and still shave very well
(3) there are some real nice people in Minnesota
Thanks Randy and Mike
