Shouldn't everyone be able to
start the day with something special? Back in the Edwardian era shaving was
elevated to an art form, with razors using the finest
For those who like something a little more
individual I produce razors with one-off glass handles, but with heads that
take modern Mach3 triple razor cartridges! I hand form each handle, and no two
are ever the same.
To make the handles I use a
laboratory grade of clear borosilicate
glass ('Pyrex' is the original trade name for this type of glass) which would
normally be made into test tubes and beakers! Into this I add high quality
coloured borosilicate art glass to produce a variety of effects and colours. I
entirely hand form these in the flame, producing several styles and shapes,
from long thing elegant bowed razors, to
short stumpy ones, and even ones with metal finials for those who prefer more
weight to their razors.
In addition to these I occasionally also have made shaving brushes with solid glass handles - again using borosilicate glass. These also vary enormously from ones that show off the amazing metallic colours that this glass produces, to others with glass jellyfishes inside making miniature aquatic scenes! At present I am re-researching theses as some of the parts I used to make these are no longer made, so am not able to offer any for sale at the moment.
I always try to have them for
sale at the stall in
As each razor and brush is an
entire one-off, I need to photograph each one to list them which takes quite
some time, so I only list a few at a time. If I am not currently
listing any please do not hesitate to contact me and I can let you know what I
have available.
