Custom handles for vintage razors

[aceinyerface]

I know Bob's Razor Works does custom handles for vintage Gillettes. Who else is doing similar work?

Any garage craftsmen out there?

Anyone have any custom work they want to show off?

If you're interested in trying to do some yourself thegoldennib.com sells DE razor heads and then you can craft the handle yourself.

Yeah, I saw their brushes. Very intriguing.

If I didn't have so many irons in the fire already, I'd be willing to give it a shot.

What about people rechroming old razors?

Lots of places to get a razor replated. Our own "buddyguy" does a bang-up job.

The Muhle and Edwin Jagger handles fit the old Gillettes perfectly and look great. I'm got a couple of NEW heads that I've got on the EJ Ivory and Barleycorn handles. I'm trying to get the heads chromed to match the handles and I think the results will be stunning.

Thank you for that link, now I will have another item that I want to purchse :P . Have you ever tried shaving with one? looks quite similar to the Merkur HD head. I might have to obtain the 3-pack, good pricing if the engineering is solid.

Take peek at "Dorian's Creations" shop at etsy.com

He makes custom DE handles from all types of rare and unique wood. The screw thread fits any vintage Gillette tech' and he will customize your handle. If I get off my lazy rear-end I will upload a picture of the one he made for me a few months ago.
