Hi Gentlemen, I have a question but i am not sure about the answer: Do all of Straight Razor Blade use same handle size? The handle from another manufacturers could put on another Straight Razor Blade without any modify? This is my first post. I would like to happy to join this forum. My English is not mother language. I don't know many word. I must use dictionary to post this. Nice to hear from you. KimSon
I'm fairly certain not all straight razors take the same size handles (or scales as they are generally called). Your English is fine. Have you tried using Google translate? That way you can type in your native language, and Google translate does the work of translating your language into English. Much easier than a dictionary.
I had many style and design for straight razor handle. But i wonder what type of razor which customer most wanted? I think your answer is right. From that answer, i think i need to buy razor blade to use with our handle.
Hi! Welcome to the Den. There are several gentlemen here who restore straight razors. I'm sure they'll be willing to help you out with any questions you may have.
In general, scales (handle) are not one size fits all. It is best to have the blade and then make the scales to fit that blade.
I would have to agree with that. Much easier to get a nice blade then get scales to work with it. As opposed to finding a blade to fit the scales. Could cost more that way as well as might not be a great blade . PS what is your mother language. There are members here who speak many languages.
They are not all the same,, Basically they come in 4 sizes, but that does not account for different lengths of the blades themselves, nor the length of the tang ... I am just talking about new production scales here, like used on Dovo, TI, Wacker, Revisor, which if you notice even they are taking hints from what we are all doing on these forums Two measurements come into play when shopping for production scales 1.) The distance from the pivot hole to the end of the blade must be smaller than the distance from the pivot hole in the scales to the wedge, by how much, determines the fit of the scales... 2. The width of the scales at the heel point of the blade, a bad fit here can actually be dangerous to you and the razor. how deep the razor fits in the scales comes into play here too...
