There are many razors leaving the shop every week, with these being the most recent I’ve photographed and posted.

I’m eager to hear your ideas for a new piece, or recreating a past piece for you.

1. Send me a message
2. I’ll write back
3. I craft and send it to your home

Together, we’ll make a custom straight razor that’s uniquely yours.

After you message me, we’ll chat about style and materials and put together a list of all the features  you want.

I’ll use this to design and over a length of time, craft a daily shaving straight razor you love.

It will be shave ready out of the box, and my goal is to make you a razor that will become something you look forward to, and turn your daily shave into a relaxing pastime.

These are straight razors I’ve crafted with traditional styles, sizes, and materials, but with my own personal twist.

I really appreciate you stopping by my workshop.

I’m honored to make your custom straight razor, and it gives me great purpose to make something that you and generations ahead will treasure. All my razors are made one at a time, with respect to traditional straight razor crafting.

ShaveSmith serves as my personal art studio, where I explore the form and function of straight razors to fulfill my heritage as a 2nd generation bladesmith (my father was a knifemaker), and connect with people all over the world.

I have individually handcrafted over 2,000 straight razors, strops, razor kits, and more.

From Los Angles to Norway, and I’m proud to see my work in the hands of fine shavers all over the world.

Thank you for supporting me, my family heritage, and the lost art of fine straight razor craft.

I’ll hand forge a kamisori razor (traditional Japanese straight razor) just for you.

By default, I grind them so they can be used in either hand (western grind) but I’m happy to do a traditional grind if you prefer one that’s right-handed or left handed. You can also choose a curved handle, or straight handle – your choice.

I also offer a variety of leather and fiber wraps, from modern to traditional.

I’ll craft you a  custom straight razor that’s classic in size and shape, set it in handmade handles.

Makes for a fine daily shave with a personal touch, worth passing down generations.

Sized at daily shaving pieces – at 5/8 or 6/8″ blade width, set in classic wood handles (over 15 materials to choose from, many shapes.)

I view a custom straight razor like this as a blank canvas. Custom steel markings, handle choices – it’s the best choice for making a unique heirloom with style.

I take artistic pride in my craft.

If you’re seeking a custom straight razor that’s a chopper (large, Sheffield style blade),  or incorporates ancient artworks (Gaelic, Medieval), or perhaps is inspired by a film/video game (Final Fantasy, Star Wars), this is the level of razor you want.

Let me create a one of a kind piece that will be the start of your daily-use art collection.

All my blades are made to shave, and razors of this caliber not only perform, but are worth noted display of craft and material.

Most razors of this type range between 425 and 625, with razors that use precious metals like fine silver, gold, and extra craftsmanship priced individually according to material value and time involved.

I’m able to offer one of a kind pieces, tailored to you, at the best value.

I can do this for you because I specialize in unique heirloom pieces, and you’re buying directly from the craftsman.
