Steven's Woodworking Brushes (2)
Dec 29, 2008 - 10:32 PM - by sicboater
Gentlemen, for your gratification I present a review of two Steven's woodworking brushes from Straight Razor Designs.








Brush #1

Knot: 28mm silvertip light bulb shaped.
Loft: 63mm
Overall length: 140mm
Handle: Ebony Stabilized with Danish Oil, hand rubbed finish


Quaility: 9.5
The knot lost three hairs and since has not lost any at all even under extremely robust brushing. I do not consider this an issue at all. The precision is pretty amazing: the knot is seated well and epoxied very nicely in place. Overall the dimensions are quite well balanced for such a large brush.
Post bloom this is a monster lather lash!

Lather making ability

Soap: 10
Despite being soft, the bristles have enough backbone to load with soap... [Read More]

Straight razor saves life of Mother and Child.... again
Dec 23, 2008 - 9:48 PM - by Ben325e
I know that everyone is getting so sick of seeing how straight razors are saving lives all the time, but I thought I'd just post one more....

WKYC.com | Cleveland, OH | Truck driver uses razor to save mother, child from wrecked SUV

I'm going to keep a straight razor in my pocket from now on, right beside my CPM-D2 Kershaw Leek. Any razor restorers out there want to put a pocket clip on my boker?

hehehe

Wiki Contest!
Nov 30, 2008 - 12:06 AM - by ByronTodd
Constant Shaver,

I do hereby announce the official beginning of the first SRP wiki contest. The contest will run until Jan 7th, and be announced during the chat on Jan 11th. The basics are pretty simple, write an article in the wiki (write an award winning article!), win a prize.

Prizes and Awards are as such:
Team Prize (Two razors, see attached photos).
Best How To (Razor to be announced later, perhaps a custom handle by Lynn).
Best Photograph (Bucket of Soaps from www.straightrazordesigns.com).

How it works:

Start and finish any article by the end of the contest. Email the link to dave@straightrazorplace.com. Articles must be started by the contestant, or be in stub format before. The wiki is temporarily setup to allow only the author of the article to edit it (Except for a small group of super users).

The team prize is designed to promote writers to team with photographers, restoration experts to team with the computer geeks, etc. Any combination of teams and any number of team members is acceptable. You'll have to figure out how to divy up the razors .

Any questions on how to use the wiki can be asked in this thread, and we'll do... [Read More]
