It's been a long time in the works.
I made a lot of mistakes along the way, BUT that's when I learned the most.
Many of you have been interested in my Fusion product development.
Some just interested in what is going on and others interested in regards to possible purchases.
This is to simple let everyone know I have final reached a point in the two year project that I am ready to share some REAL results.
Let me first thank several people (without mentioning in names) *** You know who you are ***
There were several very helpful people that helped me along the way, that's the best part of this group - Everyone wants to help, we all learn from each other.
NOW Without further babble.....
Allow me to introduce my completely homemade Fusion style razor.
From idea - to several mold castings - adjustments and powder coating (THE BIGGEST DIFFERENCE from my first razors which where simple retail razors that I modified to fit a handle that was turned on center to what I have today)
The finished project idea is cast from solid bronze. After some clean-up work from the casting it goes through a component fit test before I apply my own powder coating. I discovered that purchasing my own powder coating system was going to be much better then dealing with large local companies that really did not have the time or desire to work with such a small scale project.
Again another member of IAP helped me through that entire decision to powder coat my pwn pieces.
After choosing a handle material - I turn the shape that comes to mind while the blank is turning (on center)
Some very detailed fitting is required on the end where the razor head will be attached along with some drilling to hold the one piece razor head to the handle. My design does not require multiple components or attached rods. It is all one solid metal piece.
I welcome any questions or comments
I have three photos to show.
Two are a completed razor - One shows the full handle, the other shows a close up of the head where it attaches to the handle
The third picture shows the three different powder coatings I am able to produce at this time. Purchasing the system was a chunk of change so I figured I would slowly add to the color options.
I have two different blacks. One is a high gloss; the other is a semi-gloss hammered finish and of course as you can tell from the photos gloss chrome Finish.
Enjoy the pictures.
Please let me know what you think????
Thanks
