    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

    Charlie

    Not sure if its just me, but there were no pictures whatsoever. Just the youtube video. It sounds like there should be pictures? Maybe not?

    That's right, and there's no pictures showing up at my end.

    So I gather I still got some serious pc issues. Coz Webcast didn't work the other day either.

    Thanks, Charlie - this really does inspire me to hopefully make a razor from scratch one day! Way to go! What would you do differently with regards to heat treating next time?

    Thanks again,
    Mark

    That was very cool, nice frame back too. Funnily enough when I clicked the videos, they all said that the video was no longer available, yet they still played, they were just rather dark.

    I decided to try a different browser too see what happens. Seems my earlier problem lies with FF3.
