how much do your razors cost

[lewisrazors]

@BkbladzZz The razors vary in price. I sell my razors through Straight Razor Designs. The are listed on thier page under my name in their custom straight razor shop.

Your razors are absolutely amazing. Something about using something so raw looking in such a delicate way just makes it seem so visceral. Question on the scales...What keeps the blade from swinging down through the bottom of the scales. From what I surmise from the video it looks like the wedge you add to the end touches the end of the razor at some point. Do you need to keep the cutting edge of the razor from touching the wedge. I assume that would dull the blade.

[lewisrazors]

@chopstix2002 The blade is thicker than the opening between the scales. The blade does not touch the wedge. The blade is tapered and hits the insides of the scales before the edge has a chance to poke through.

Thank you for the kind words about my work.

@flyingfranklin Thank you

@lewisrazors I just finished watching another tutorial (the whole 12 video series...) where the person used shop equipment. I found your tutorial much more interesting as well as educational and I'm pretty sure I have everything you used in my shop :) One question, where did you get the nickle silver rod you used?

[lewisrazors]

@flyingfranklin I ordered the nickel silver rod from Jantz Knife Making supplies

[lewisrazors]

@cooolathanlife There is a pinning video on my channel, I am having trouble posting the link here, but it is easy enough to find

[redapple20012]

Any chance you could include all the materials you use in the description for reference.
