Shaving Brush and Razor Blanks

[Vic Perrin]

I am after some matching acrylic blanks to do some shaving kits. Brush, razor and stand.

Anyone know of a supplier

I have used Tiger wood from Tool post, thats available in 3/4 and 2" blanks or try UK pen kits he has acrylic ones
Otherwise i have used laserlinez in the US for inlace blanks but not cheap on shipping

Some nice looking blanks at Snainton.

It seems difficult to get a full set of matching blanks for these Vic ..

 

[Bammer]

I've been looking around for a week or so .. can get the larger size but as Jim says, not a smaller size for the set.

I know Jim I've looked everywhere to try and get a brush blank to match the stand and razor.

It was easy when Brody was doing his stuff he just made up what you wanted I would love him to get back into it again !

Vince from the Turners Workshop is having a look at what he has got and hopefully will come up with the goods.

Has any body done them in wood ? I don't know whether they would stand up to the soap and water

What size are all the blanks required?

Yep, I did a Yew one a while back (on here somewhere) with a LOT of spray lacquer finish and then polished using the stuff I used for Georges blanks, it seems to have stood up reasonably well. A little bit of blooming for sure, acrylic would be safer no doubt.

I have made one for a mate in Yew, lot's of CA and a fair bit on the ends. He says it's still looking good but he is rather OCD about cleaning it and drying it ...
