Discussing 3D printed razors and other shaving related stuff usually ends up all over the place.
Are you designing 3D razors? Brushes? Bowls? Scales? Handles? Blades??? Do have ideas for 3D printed stuff? Want to show off your items or progress? Do have any tips for printing existing razor designs? Know a good 3D printing company?
Dump it all right here.
The fountain of 3D printing knowledge for shaving supplies.

Let me start with the razors I'm currently working on.
Based on @twhite 's Wabbit razor I had the idea that the razor wouldn't actually need a cap to hold the blade in place.
Based on the 'Killer Rabbit of Caerbannog', the name 'Caerbannog' was born.
A capless design. The blade is held in place by two tabs and secured by three magnets.
Artist's impression:



I hope to be able to have a prototype printed next week.

While designing the 'round bit with the bunny head' I got the idea that it could be used to turn the razor into a slant:



The fixed angle didn't convince me, but then I came up with an idea how to make the angle adjustable.
Here's a link to an animation (too big to be embedded in this post)

Idea: split the joint in half, use a nut and bolt to secure the desired angle.

Next idea: Use two largish (10x2mm) very strong round magnets to achieve the same result:

So next week I hope to have a Caerbannog razor and two joints (without head or handle) printed.

Also in the works: A replacement handle for Schick Type E/G razors.

With the magnet design how about gears on one side and the matching gaps to give you a adjustable locking joint. This sort of thing

You mentioned an injector razor elsewhere. Can you tell us more?

This was my latest attempt at duplicating a Type E Injector. I've always found Type Es to be efficient shavers as well as easy to maneuver. Making one out of plastic turned out to be a bit challenging since the heads are usually made out of thin stamped metal. Nonetheless, they have a very simple design and definitely rank high in my collection. My design is still a work in progress since working with small 3d printed parts requires quite a bit of trial and error to get the tolerances just right. As far as performance goes, it shaves like the real thing with a lighter feel. The plus is that I can 3d print multiple blade-guards with different gaps making it an adjustable Type E.

If the magnet only solution is not stable enough, something similar might be an option.
Only time will tell.
I'm concerned about bulk though.

No i'm saying the magnet as well as the gears. The magnets alone will not be enough to keep the angle of the head in place. The north south pull will not stop plate on platte swivel. You need at least some locking mechanism IMO

How about 1 post in each side and little slots and different degrees

I got that.
The magnets I ordered are very very strong though.
There is always nut and bolt.
