[@kmrazordesigns2105]

Glad you liked it. Thanks for watching

[@ArbyCreations]

Really great looking razor that, its so nice to see someone make one with slightly more accessible tools. Looks a bit tricky to sharpen but the design is awesome.

[@kmrazordesigns2105]

Thank you. It's a little different to your normal straight to hone but just a slight change to the technique and it's easy

Great video and a lot of work involved nice to see what is involved and the chemical electrical etching process too very well done kym

[@kmrazordesigns2105]

Thanks, Glad you enjoyed it Rob!

[@jacobacostamasterscribe2200]

What size washers are those? And On a straight razor do they just serve to keep the blade stock from directly rubbing against the handles?

[@kmrazordesigns2105]

Not sure of the exact dimensions but they are size #0 or 1.6mm internal diameter. They are there to prevent rubbing as you day but prevent trapping moisture leading to rust too

[@jacobacostamasterscribe2200]

Pretty new to straight razors. What is it about the added rigidity of a near wedge (normal hollow it would be called on a knife) when actually shaving that makes it worth losing the longevity of a 1/4,1/2, etc hollow grind?

[@kmrazordesigns2105]

The benefit of a near wedge is the added weight which can be easier to control. However it will give pretty much zero audible feedback. The more hollow it is, the more audible feedback you get and the more flexible it is but it also becomes lighter and can jump while shaving. 1/4 and 1/2 hollow are a nice middle point with benefits of both to me
