Current Razor Makers in 2025 (2025)

The Honemeister page on the wiki includes a series of links to people adjudged by members here to be selling "shave ready" straights. It also lists a small selection of custom razor makers. I'd like, with your help, to build out that list of custom makers so that it a) is more comprehensive, and b) might encourage more people to try a custom razor.

Here is the current list:

There are a couple that spring to mind for me immediately, but I am sure there are more than that currently making razors.

If you know of custom makers that should be added, and have personally dealt with them, please reply below, including their contact details if they are publicly available. If not, and you only have an email address for example, please check with them first to ensure they are comfortable with it being listed (albeit mildly obfuscated) here.

Thanks!

There is nothing on that site about custom straights. Have you purchased one from them?

The easiest thing is to look on Instagram - thay all have a presence there.

Yeah, I'm not going to link to any walled gardens from the wiki: it has to be either a publicly accessible website or email address so those people that don't have accounts with those sites can get in touch with them.

Current list where I could find a web presence.

• Ale Razors: HOME | Ale Razors - https://shave-ready.wixsite.com/rasoirs-anciens
• Art Razor: Art•RAZOR Store - http://artrazorstore.blogspot.com/

Thanks. I was going to add Ale razors this morning when I remembered Alejandro had a site. He offers honing services at that site as well as razors for sale.

I have purchased numerous razors from Jarrod over the years. Mostly Thiers Issard and a couple Dovos.
He is well known for his honing philosophy regarding the use of convex stones.
Guy can put a killer edge on a straight.

Yes but he is making a list of custom razor makers not just sellers or honers.

There is a new one on Facebook from Ukraine. Sun Moon Razors

It’s a girl razor maker. Haven’t tried one yet but the look very nice.

Korat in Austria. I bought a razor from them last year.
Also Max Sprecher in Las Vegas makes razors to order. I have never had one but bought a vintage razor from him last year.
