Elite Razor - Custom and Unique Razors and Brushes

Hello Bob Quinn. Can I ask if you can comment on how the density, softness at tips and backbone are between the two different high mountain white 3 band knots? Thank you very much and cheers.

The premium knots I carry are the Manchurian White 2-band and the High Mountain White 3-band. They both are very dense and will require a hole approximately 2mm larger than the knot size to insure good flow-through (ie. a 26mm knot will fit into a 28mm hole). The tips are very soft on both the 2-band and 3-band. The main difference is that the 2-band will present with a bit more backbone than the 3-band.

I do make the occasional metal handle, but mostly in either Damascus Steel or the Japanese Mokume-Gane method of fusing contrasting metals together.

Wow, that sounds awesome!  Can you post a couple pics of these when you get a chance?

I do make the occasional brush in the same material.  Below is a brush I built that is a combination of Copper and Silver.  I do have a block of this same material, as well as the Copper and Carbon that would work for a brush handle.

I was able to get some good shop time last night and this morning and have completed a couple fo new brushes that have just been listed in the Specialty Brushes section on my site at www.eliterazor.com.

The first 2 are made of Mokume-Gane.  Mokume-Gane (pronounced Moe-koo-may Gah-nay) is the ancient Japanese metal working technique where layers of contrasting color metals such as copper, brass, nickel silver, gold, and silver are fusion welded with very high heat and pressure into one solid block of metal.  Traditional Mokume-Gane is extremely rare and sells for hundreds if not thousands of dollars for a very small quantity.  The name “Mokume Gane” refers to the visual appearance of a pattern in metal approximating that of wood. “Mokume” literally means “wood eye”, which would be used to describe a highly figured wood grain. “Gane” translates as metal. So, in English, “wood grain metal” is a near-literal translation.

Cobalt and Gold - 24 - 26mm


Carbon and Copper


I also completed a new Prism brush with a 26mm knot


As always, thanks for looking.

That cobalt and gold handle material is stunning Bob.

I hope everyone has a safe and happy Labor day weekend.  I stumbled across this piece of imported European resin in my shop last week while cleaning  (a task I don't undertake as often as I should).  It's a beautiful Cobalt blue with black running through it.  It is shown with a 24mm knot, but can be adjusted to accept a 26mm knot.

It is listed an available on my site at www.eliterazor.com
