Razor handle kit

[Rob Matarazzo]

Anyone aware of a kit for a turned razor handle that will take Sensor Excel cartridges?

Penn State. If you make one use loctite to hold the parts together.

Thanks Don, but PSI as well as the other sources I’ve checked seem to only sell Mach 3 razor kits.

Rob,

I've never made a razor handle but what people often do to make custom turned handles for things is to buy the thing and remove or adapt the handle to fit into a wooden handle. Just yesterday a friend told me that he bought a dozen ice cream scoops from Ikea - he cuts off the plastic handles and epoxies into a turned handle.

This is easy for a metal thing with a plastic handle. I know nothing about that razor (or much about razors in general!) If the razor holder and handle is a monolithic plastic injection molding this may require some creativity, for example carving or mounting the razor somehow and turning down the handle to a small diameter to fasten into the wood. This, of course, might not be practical for a production run!
