Boxes 39 and 40

I cut out and glued two boxes on Saturday. After clamping them up I let them set until today, Monday. So, today, I finished building the boxes and put the hardware on them. Here they are.

Next, I created the insides so they would accommodate two triceratops razors.


I stained and sealed both boxes the same color.


Next, I finished the boxes with polycrylic.

Finally, I finished off the insides of both boxes with black and red felt. I only have one triceratops razor, so I did a little magic to look like I have two. 

Box 39


Box 40

I have two red and two black triceratops coming in the mail. One set will go to Mike in Louisiana. 


 Update: 24 Dec 2020

The red and black Triceratops have arrived. Here are two of them in Box 40. It is going to Mike in Louisiana.

Here is Box 39 with my Christmas shave. I mixed my green one with a red one for a Christmas theme shave.

Triceratops 3D Printed Razor Arrives

 I had the Triceratops printed through Treatstock.com. It uses a GEM style SE blade that is held in place by the handle being tightened. It was completed pretty quickly, but it got lost in the US Mail pretty quickly, too. But, today, it arrived. Here is what it looks like. I plan to start using it next week starting Monday. I may even sneak in a pass tomorrow on Saturday Straights' Shave.











Update: 13 Dec 2020

Someone asked if this razor would use an injector blade. I said, "No." However, I thought I ought to at least give it a try. So, I did, and it appears that an injector blade will work in the Triceratops. So, I will at least give it a test shave next week.

This test fitting was done with a dulled injector blade that I use to shim my wedge stropper. It sure looks like it will work.
