Elite Razor - Custom and Unique Razors and Brushes

I just completed this handle today.  It was from a pour I did several months ago and had been sitting patiently on my bench for too long.  Although I had poured several different colors, the outside of the resulting blank was all brown.  Imagine my surprise as I started turning away material and exposed what was underneath that brown veneer.  Shown below are 4 pictures, each after a 1/4 turn, to show how the color combinations move around this handle. 

I only wish I had turned it sooner so I would remember how the pour went.

As always, thanks for looking.

Two new brushes have just been listed on my site at www.eliterazor.com.  The Afzelia burl is a Gallery Grade specimen, showing a bit of the figured sapwood along with the burled heartwood.  The Multicolor brush is made of brilliantly bright colors and changes dramatically as the handle is turned.

I've been working on a few stone handles and have just listed them on my site.

Wild horse Jasper (24 - 26mm)


Gold Laced Onyx (24 - 26mm)


Malachite (24 - 26mm)


Azurite with Malachite (24mm)

I rarely turn the traditional Persian Jar shape, I should make them more often.  It's a classic shape for a reason.


As always, thanks for looking.

Admittedly, I've focused most of my work on brushes and haven't done many razor handles in quite a while.  I had a nice piece of Tourmaline Laced Quartz and built the three handles shown below in the shapes I generally employ.  They are presented in the various configurations offered on my site, from left to right:

3-piece razor with either a Merkur, Edwin Jagger or a Muhle head.  Handle is in the Standard shape.

Razor handle only.  Handle is in the Tapered shape.

Custom Merkur 34C (or 38C, depending upon the handle length).  Handle is in the Profiled shape.



I realize that I may have gone overboard in the pursuit of a "build your own" razor with the various shapes and configurations.  Please let me know you have any questions.

These three pieces have been listed on my site, along with many other handles in a variety of materials.  Check out the Wildlife section for some of the most unique handles in the market.

As always, thanks for looking.
