Elite Razor - Custom and Unique Razors and Brushes

After 7 months out of the shop, it was great to be able to get back behind the lathe. Below is the first new brush I've been able to turn in quite a while.

Thanks so much for all you thoughts and support while I was out of commission.

I've just completed the finish on this exceptional Honduran Rosewood Burl razor. It can be set up as either a 3-blade Gillette Mach 3 or a 5-blade Gillette Fusion.

This beauty has just been listed on my site at www.eliterazor.com.

I acquired a large cache of Irish Bog Oak about 15 years ago and I am getting to the end of the pile. I thought this might be an appropriate brush to build for the Halloween season.

The boglands of Ireland are a vast living treasure trove for precious and unique material. Bog wood, more ancient than the pyramids of Egypt, has been naturally preserved, and has lain hidden for over 5,000 years. Radiocarbon dating at Queen’s University, Belfast confirms: “In providing dates along with sculptured wood, you can safely say, in the case of bog oak, the date of growth of the wood is between 3300 and 3600 BC”. There are many folk legends surrounding the old bog sites of Ireland, especially during the hours of darkness: it was, and perhaps still is, a commonly held belief that when the mist enveloped the bog and the blue flame (from static electricity), danced across the surface at dusk, it was a sure indication that “the little” people were cooking their supper.
