Just wanted to introduce myself. I have been on this site several times and decided to join. Im a knife maker and leathersmith for over 20 years. Ive been experimenting with building and using straight razors for the last few years. I have been forging San Mai Damascus and Sainless San Mai for my razors. Very addictive this razor stuff!!! I have some Badger knots coming in next week to build some brushes. Any how, hope to learn from this site as well as help anyone else. Thanks Richard Epting
Good to have you here. I can't imagine a question you can have that someone on the site can help you with. Welcome.
Hi, Richard, and welcome to TSD! Any chance we can get to see some of these razors of yours? I'm mighty curious! Happy shavings!
Folks, here is one I finished a few months ago. Its a 8/8 1/4 hollow with my Damascus and 1080 core San Mai. Afzailia burl scales and Ironwood wedge.
to TSD Richard...... I hope you enjoy it here as much as I do...Nice having a knife smith on board... Those are "DAMN BEAUTIFUL" razors!!! Makes me wish I liked straight razor shaving..
Welcome to TSD. Did you see the fine print requiring that you send me one of your Damascus razors before posting? Those are just beautiful! I wouldn't mind seeing a few (or more) of you knives.
Welcome to the Den. We know you'll fit right in. So grab yourself a comfy chair, and give our threads a spin! Burma Shave
