Atelier Artisanat d'Art

A straight razor is a trendy object, small enough for it's market to be de facto international. The savoir faire involved is exceptionnal, secular and still lively. But productions scales are often dull. Build killer scales ! Custom, handcrafted scales with high value added either on materials, process, and design ; and ship the scale around the best blades you can buy. That's the purpose of the shop I setting up.

<p> Vi ho trovato due video molto istruttivi sulla fabricazione dei rasoi.</p> <p> Les he buscado un par de videos muy instructivas sobre la fabricaci&oacute;n de las navajas de afeitar.</p> <p> Here are two interesting videos on straight razor making.</p> <p> &nbsp;</p> <p> La prima &egrave; una puntata della meravigliosa serie di Discovery&nbsp;Channel &quot;How is it made&quot; sulla manfattura tedesca DOVO a Solingen.</p> <p> La primera es un episodo de la maravililosa serie de&nbsp;Discovery&nbsp;Channel &quot;How is it made&quot; sobre la manufacture DOVO en Solingen.</p> <p> The first one is an episode of the great Discovery&nbsp;Channel&nbsp;serie &quot;How is it made&quot; on tha DOVO manufacture in Solingen.</p> <p> &nbsp;</p> <p> Si vedono tutti i processi di fabricazione : forgia, stampigliatura, tempra e rivenimento, molatura, incisione,&nbsp;affilatura, etc.</p> <p> Se ven todos los procesos de fabricacion : forja, estampado, temple y revenido, trabajo a la molienda, grabado, afilado, etc.</p> <p> The video shows a step by step process : forge, stamping, quenching and tempering, grinding, etching, honing etc.</p> <p> &nbsp;</p> <p> &nbsp;<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="281" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/3ACJrAI3SxM?wmode=opaque&amp;fs=1&amp;feature=oembed" width="500"></iframe></p> <p> &nbsp;</p> <p> La seconda e fatta da&nbsp;Charles Lewis fabricante di rasoi artigianali. Noterete che qui il rasoio e a lama fissa (lama e manico di un solo pezzo, non si chiude).</p> <p> La segunda es hecha por&nbsp;Charles Lewis, fabricante artesano de navajas de afeitar. La lama en el video es una lama fija (no se dobla, sin cachas).</p> <p> The second is brought by Charles Lewis a custom razor maker, presenting a fixed blade razor (not foldable, no scales) in the making.</p> <p> &nbsp;</p> <p> In questa video la forgia &egrave; manuale (martello + incudine) a partire di un pezzo di acciaio grezzo, poi sagomatura della lama e tempra selettiva (come le lame giapponesi). Se la scala delle operazion e gli arnesi cambiano il processo rimane lo stesso.</p> <p> Aqui la forja es manu&agrave;l (martillo + yunque) desde un trozo de acero, luego formaci&oacute;n de la lama, teple selectivo (como los sables japoneses). Si cambia el&nbsp;tama&ntilde;o de operaciones y la herramienta, el proceso es lo mismo.</p> <p> Here the forging is manual (hammer + anvil) from a steel blank, then blade grinding, selective quenching (like nipon blades). If scale of operations and tools change, the process stays the same.</p> <p> &nbsp;</p> <p> <iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="281" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/0IA7qIxyoqQ?wmode=opaque&amp;fs=1&amp;feature=oembed" width="500"></iframe></p> <p> &nbsp;</p> <p> &Agrave; bient&ocirc;t, &nbsp; Lorenzo.</p> <p> &nbsp;</p>
