Picked up an old straight razor at the flea market the other day, decided to make a new handle for it and have a go at sharpening it. Music: "Drops of H2O ( The Filtered Water Treatment )" by J.Lang

It looks nice and I'm impressed that you got a shaving edge on it. But I'm a little concerned with the use of a fairly coarse grained wood cut so thinly. I would think it would have a tendency to crack along the grain.
@achappel7 жыл бұрын
You know what..... I'm concerned to. It was a mistake to not lay the grain more diagonally so that it would follow the shape of the handle better, If (probable when) i make the next one i will remember this as well as use a denser wood. Thanks for the comment ;)

you should only do that motion when using a leather strop, which is a must for razors. Other than that it's a nice project.
@mndlessdrwer7 жыл бұрын
it depends a lot on the shape of the razor's blade profile. In the case of this razor, it looks like it may have once been much taller and had a longer concave bevel, but it no longer has that, so sharpening it with a scandi or flat grind is perfectly fine.

You can use edge trailing strokes on stones too. On certain stones it's preferable actually, such as Japanese water stones with a swarf.

Looks great, but still kinda irked about the way you sharpened it. In my experience, you're supposed to flip it around and basically go AGAINST the blade and then use a leather strop to really get that super sharp edge. Still, it looks ok (for the wood choice) and you got it to cut fairly well so kudos to you!

@zoltanerdei2596 жыл бұрын
At this razor it seems the middle wooden part of the handle stops the blade, however, the edge should not touch anything as it is very sensitive. On a normal strainght razor the wide part of the blade stops it in the handle and the handle is hollow.

KARSEN SAULTERS.. at 2.10, he cuts a piece of 10" x 10", whereas he only needed 2" x 10", so rather than cutting such a large piece, he could have only cut 2" piece and use the width of the log to make full handle. i don't mean to be negative, it was just my observation

@szymonkozio55486 жыл бұрын
The answer to that is simple - when you make a long wooden object you want the wood grain to go lengthwise. Slicing a 2" piece from that large board would make the wood grain go perpendicular which would make the handle much easier to break. Besides he did not waste anything. I believe the rest of that 10" x 10" piece can be used for some other project.

i know you believe in that glue, but a straight razor is ALWAYS wet, that thing is going to fall apart after 2 shavings; u should have used copper studs instead of the glue since the steel one that you put is going to corrode and your razor will always be a source of infection and sepsis if, by accident, you cut yourself with it which is quite common with razors i believe, i see people congratulating you, and i wish not to be mean but in reality you did quite a poor job here that will have to be redone(if razor in constant daily use in about 2 weeks) so you did nothing really but removed a very fine anti-corrosive layer by sanding it with sandpaper(actually this made me very very confident that you havent approached this the right way and that you did 0 research on types of steels and protections used in golden age barbers kit).

hello, I'm thinking to use sand paper also on the razor I got from a antique store. Which is the lowest grit I can use without damaging the edges of the knife(tang shoulder spine), and should I go all the way up to a 8-12k grit sand paper to make the steel shine or do I damage it again? I saw that you used oil I guess. What is the advantage of using it? should I dry sandpaper, water or oil as you used? whidch are the advantages and disadvantages. thanks
@achappel7 жыл бұрын
I guess you can start fairly course.. depends on the condidtion of your blade.. and then just go up the grits grinding away all the marks from the previouse one untill you are hapy with the finish. You're not gonna damage the blade in any way with to fine paper... The oil was just some WD40, its just to get the shavings from the paper away, so that it doesn't scrach the blade and load up the sandpaper.

think its wether or not there will be a burr created on the edge of the blade grinding against the blade is suposed to give a potentially sharper edge... (i think)
@royreynolds1086 жыл бұрын
By moving the blade so that it passes over the stone where the thin edge is last, a small bit of metal tends to curl up creating what is known as a "wire" edge. Moving the other direction tends to prevent this from happening. I have experienced this so I move the blade into the stone for sharpening. At the end I use a piece of leather to strop the blade to polish the cutting edge.
