Was asked to make 4 razors, 2 wood (my choice) and 2 plastic.

A good little project, you can do your own integrity testing on them that way init?

To expensive for me to get a return on them so not a thing for me to do but good luck to those who can sell them.

Nice job on the razors. Would liked to have made the set but a bit expensive for the stall by the time you have got the blank and the time spent on them. Like you it would be a case of "To Order"

Yeah, you really need to be getting 15 quid back and I don't think that will happen on a stall.

I did the full thing brush and all for Dad last year, pleased to say he still uses it every day.

I had a feeling it might have been a Mach 3. I am waiting for the Fusion ones to come out as I haven't seen them although I believe they are available in the States !!!!

You can get the fusion kits if you want them through TR. I bought a couple from them a few months ago for personal use (not cheap at £10.99) but they just added them on to one of their orders from Craft Supplies in the states.

I've drilled out a truestone blank for one of them not not had time / courage to turn it yet.:goesred:

Lovely Phil, they're very nicely turned and finished. I wonder how the wood ones will stand up to the test of time? :thumbs:
