DE razor kit?

[jlaviolette]

I have quite a few requests for custom turned DE (double edged) razors. I've looked around quite a few places and can't seem to find any. I was able to find a head here, but am looking for a complete kit.

Safety Razor Head Safety Razor head [SAFETY RAZOR HEAD] - $17.00 : Fountain Pen parts - NIBS, - Wholesale Fountain Pen Ink - Golden Nib AZ

This head threads into a 1/4 -20 insert, which I could probably tap in before turning, but then I am stuck for a matching bottom end.

Any ideas?

Well what you can't see is because I think I took this photo before I put a simple upholstery tack on the bottom.

Nice! Is that the head from golden nibs?

They generally don't come with a bottom end. If you want the bottom end you could mix these kits with the mach 3 kits which have the bottom end but then you have mach 3 without the bottom end.

Most wetshavers don't like the shave they get with this head... that's why I haven't attempted any.

As a point of fact, Yes. and I like the shave I get, not much different from my father old Gillette take down DE
