    I’m looking into getting a 3D printer.
    What’s your opinion on a good one that’s not too Expensive.

    Here is an update. I just got my silvertip knot from Whipped Dog and set it in my new handle that was printed by @SlimGem. I will be using it the rest of the week, too.

    Some time ago I saw a nice looking 3D printed Schick injector on the SOTD thread - does anyone know where that came from and if there are more pictures?

    I think @SlimGem may be responsible for that, or he knows who is.

    Yep that is one of @SlimGem redesigns in this case.

    Yes! There it is! That is really cool - one with an orange handle would look nice too. I wonder if this as aggressive as an E2 or mild like a later Schick?

    Nice and great job!!

    Razor: Weck Gem
    Blade: Gem (2)
    Brush: Teton Zen Series "Bob Ross"
    Soap: Lakewood SOCP (1508.5 Project on Steroids)
    AS 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla 70
    AS 2: Clubman Citrus Musk
    Fragrance: CK One

    So I have the WeckGem razor repaired and ready to go for this mornings shave as well as sticking with the SOCP soap. I may covert this 1508.5 into a moderate 3017 and use daily with a few exceptions here and there when needed for my sanity. We actually have doughnut hole break thru this morning.

    The razor is easy to get the blade in and positioned. It has blade stops that protect from the corners of the blade. At first it feels light like I'm shaving with a toy but the cutting takes over and you realize it's not a toy but just a light razor (blade holder) At first I was also kinda being careful for fear the head would snap again as it arrived to me but in no time I was just gliding around and it was doing it's think. The epoxy was doing it's job now and the 2 pieces were one. It's easy to find the angle and is comfortable to maintain the angle. The shave is mild for a Gem blade and encouraged you to buff and chase the baby. It was caught with ease and I'm smooth and Velveteen as Jeff @jgreenepa would say. Topped off with the Citrus Musk again and CK One. While shaving and feeling how mild it was, I was thinking maybe I need the 3 dot instead of the 2. No worries there, the 2 did the job with comfort so why mess with a good thing. I'll give this a couple/few more shaves and then get it to the next pass participant. Have a great day Shavers !!!

    Tom, that looks really sleek and cool. I guess it takes an injector blade?

    Yes it will take an injector blade. I will try using magnets along with a bit of friction to hold it into place. I was sitting at work waiting for my job to come in. I was doodling and got the basic shape. Then I drew it up. I will see if I have time this weekend to print one up.

    I think it was called the Ceti Alpha V Eel but that don't exactly roll off the tongue.
