You didn’t make just the handle, but the entire safety razor. I particularly like your baseplate and cap solutions, though the handle is ingenious as well. The next step might be to drill a hole the length of a short dowel, slide that over the length of the screw from the bottom, and use another nut to hold the dowel in place, providing a more comfortable (but easily removed) handle. Just a thought.

JBWeld is a 2 part epoxy. some would say it’s THE 2 part epoxy. it’s perfect for this application in that when first mixed it has the consistency of peanut butter. Because of this it can be easily molded into the ridge shape. JBWeld is pretty universally available in the US at least.

This is a neat project. I’m not familiar with jbweld, is that a brand name? What other product would you recommend that is universally available.

I’m playing around with a (somewhat) easy technique for assuring that the blade is leveled and aligned. If it pans out I’ll do an instructable and you can make your own.
