I see. In that case, maybe a ball and socket joint is another option. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1785190 Whatever you do, Kepp posting your progress. I'm curious to see where you go with this razor.

I will keep posting.
The non-slant razor will come first.
Tom keeps updating the files for the head and I keep working on the head-handle interface.
I'll post more design snapshots before I order something.

Forum !
A while back, a member of The Shave Nook wrote about some brushes he 3D printed as gifts for his brother who was retiring from the U.S. Navy. His story got me thinking about designing custom 3D printed brushes for my den. We went back and forth for a number of weeks, and here are the results. They’ve been dubbed Y28, a take on my oldest and favorite guitar, a Martin D-28. The 28 designation in this case is a reference to the Yankees’ next World Series title. The white handle is representative of the Yanks’ home uniform, and the gray handle, their road uniform. Badger for home, synthetic for the road. The full story is chronicled on TSN; search Y28. The designer is on Etsy, Endeavor Brushworks. Not sure if he’s active any longer, but you could certainly reach out to Tom with any questions you have. When I have a little free time I’ll take some better photos.

That is very very cool! Making a mold out of 3d printed handles is an awesome idea.

Thanks for the kind words. I didn’t think up the idea, just modified it to suit my personal interest. The brushes came out great. Knots btw are 26/52, from Elite Razors dot com.

Very handsome brushes.
Y28 and a 26mm knot? You missed a trick there. (I like my knots big :))

Progress on the Caerbannog raozr.
The head has been simplified even further by Tom.
I'll probably go with three 3x2mm N52 magnets for sheer strength.
They have 475g max. pulling power each. Three of those should be able to hold a blade in place.

I'm not completely done yet (the head-handle-interface might need a little refinement), but here are some images:







Slant versions will come later.

I had a weird idea while out shopping today.
I saw 50 wooden clothes pegs reduced to clear and thought the springs in them could be very useful in a 3D printed razor.
I did buy them, but I have no idea yet how to use them :)

Fair point. Tom, the brush maker had the specs for the handle worked out for his line of shave brushes. My brushes were designed using his premade design. Changing the knot size would have meant a lot more work and design tweaking for him, and we simply took the easier approach. 26mm is my sweet spot for a knot, so it’s not a big deal to me. But I do get your point.

I just like a good pun. And 30mm knots. Not sure if that's my sweet spot - I haven't tried anything bigger.
