When Covid 19 hit self grooming took whole new meaning. Also with no one to meet besides family and neighbors mistakes were acceptable lol. Taught myself to give haircuts by buying a buzzer. Next I decided that ‘The Best a Man Can Get’ wasn't really the “Best” and just stupidly wasteful. Proceeded to teach myself to use a single edge and double edge razor.
Recently my razor started to get wobbly and rather than buy a new one, I thought I should seek out like minded 3D printing aficionados out there. After testing nearly every model I could find, I struck gold with this one. Probably the best DE razor I have ever used. Simple, robust and nearly no nicks. But there were a couple of issues(nut and bolt):
- The original model requires a brass insert nut being melted into the handle using a soldering iron. That was just clumsy. I had a bunch of M3 square nuts so added a socket that fits it perfectly. Just add a pause at height 87.2mm, insert nut and hit resume. The nut gets locked in for good.
- The original model uses an M3 20mm FHS(Flat head screw). I happened to have a bunch of M3 SHCS (Socket head cap screws). Did a quick redesign and it works like a charm with any screw length over 18mm. While tightening the screw, keep going till theres a gap of 2mm-ish between the bottom of the cap head and the top of the socket. Squeeze a drop of super glue and keep tightening till the screw seats. Do not over tighten. Let it set for about an hour.
I have added my sketchup files if you choose to make any mods. Assembly is easy:
- Place the upper part upside down, slide the blade on the groove, slide the bottom on the screw and screw in the handle till the blade is properly tensioned.
- Don't go crazy while tightening, it's not needed. Enjoy a great shave.
- When done, simply dismantle, wash and dry everything, pack the blade and slide it in the slot on the cap.
- Just check out the pictures.
- I have included a pre sliced model but if you choose to do it yourself, I would strongly suggest a brim, 3-4 perimeters and at least 40% infill. Don't forget the pause after height of 87mm.
One month of using this, I personally feel this is better than “The Best a Man Can Get” but thats just me. Already made a few for friends and they are loving it. Great original design. In the future, I'll probably add modifiers to print the handle with a TPU grip.
