Box 24 for TNNSER 3D Razor

I am purposing this A.C. Moore's box for my new TNNSER 3D razor. The following pictures were taken after I had stained the wood, added the clasp, and lined the inside. Next, I will add the polycrylic finish.





Update: All done. I put two coats of polycrylic on the box to protect it. Then I put four felt feet on the corners to keep it off the surface and protect it.

The TNNSER 3D Razor

The original TNNSER razor, created by Tom White, was made of aluminum. It travelled the world before ending up at my house until it will be passed on after I pass on.  Andreas of the UK took the razor and made a 3d printed version of it. It got tweaked and Tom also had a razor printed.


Andreas shared the files with me, and I looked for a printer. I found a guy here in Henderson County. Arrowood Mechanical Designs felt they could print it for me. So, I went over to meet with Bill and talk about the razor. I decided to go ahead with a test razor. I did not sleep well that night. I was at his door at 8 AM the next morning, and he had the razor ready. I wrote the following later that morning.

I just got the TNNSER 3D razor from the 3D printer today. It is created by Tom of Burbank and Andreas of UK. I had to get a flat head screw and a nut to hold the head on the handle. The nut was a little thick, so I took it down to size with my Dremel. Here it is, folks. I look forward to shaving with this awesome single edge razor.








Weighs in at 19g.
I created this video to share with the TOST forum and the world.

Stropping an Enders Speed Blade

Because the Enders Speed Blade was a bit tuggy in today's shave, I decided to strop it to see if I could improve its performance. Here is what I did.

Knotting and Re-knotting

I got two handles, a brush, and three knots in the mail today. I am doing a little job for a fellow shaver. It started out as a re-knot for JR#41, but he asked if I would set the knots in two other handles he had. Of course, I said yes. The first two pictures show the two handles with their respective knots "dry fitted."



Here are the three brush handles with their respective knots. I had to remove the old badger knot from #41. I replaced it with a Maggard two-band badger.


Here they are awaiting their final setting. I am using hot glue to set the knots. 


Here they are all done. I will send them back to Perry tomorrow.
