Fuzzy Catcher Refinement

 I did some filing on my Fuzzy Catcher today. I also did a little modification to make it more like a Damaskeene razor by shaping the sides and making two cutouts.

TiBr Wabbit by Tom

 This is the TiBr Wabbit by Tom in Burbank.  It weighs in at 17g and has three baseplates. It is a great shaver. I shaved with it with the #3 plate and had no issues. I got a great shave. 




The baseplate has two raised spots to hold the blade in the correct position and three magnets on the back end. The baseplate is pushed into the handle.



It is held in place with friction and three small magnets in the back.


I will be using it next week for a week of shaves. In the mean time, I have created a box for the TiBr Wabbit.






Box 46 for TiBr

 I made this box for Tom's TiBr Wabbit 3D printed razor. It holds the razor and the extra baseplates.

I made it from a block of cedar that I had on hand.

Hardware is installed, and the razor support is finished.

Here I am gluing in the razor support.

I finished it with Minwax Polycrylic.

It is ready for lining.

The lining is green felt material.

Extra baseplates stored on left.

It was a very successful shave. Finding the right angle was quit easy.

This is how it showed up.
What a surprise!
