Razors: Racer and Yuma, both with a Racer blade
Post-shave: Cool water rinse, alum, and Krampert’s Finest Bay Rum
Still experimenting with combining shavesticks and cream – thirsty, dense lather with a very noticeable citrus scent. DFS though, and nick free.
The post the other day where I showed an old time razor made from a bent metal plate made me think of 3D printed razors. I figured that if I could come up with that idea, so could other clever people, so I headed over to Thingiverse – one of the better known places online to share all things 3D printed.
No razors – at least that I could find – but plenty of shaving gear. A few I liked:
– A fancy razor stand
– A less fancy razor stand
– A combined razor and brush stand
– A combined razor and brush ‘hang’
– A shave brush handle
– A blade disposal box
Now, if I could only justify spending a huge wad of cash to buy a 3D printer I would have all the razor stands I would ever need… but no printed razor.

Yet another DFS with a mixed lather.
Stumbled over an interesting web page the other day; Origins of the safety razors.
Lots of interesting razors, even if I like the so called Pig Scraper the most:
I can actually see making something like this on a modern 3D printer, suitable modified to use a modern SE or DE blade… shouldn’t me too hard.
