Our craft

Billet in. Instrument out.

Reggie's razors are designed, machined and finished in Britain, in a working machine shop. This is how a bar of metal becomes something you'll keep for life.

Design
01 — The process

Design

Every product starts as an engineering drawing — geometry, tolerances and material called out long before any metal moves. Head angles and blade gaps are decided on paper, then proven on the machine and on the face.

CNC machining
02 — The process

CNC machining

Solid billet — aluminium, brass, stainless steel or titanium — is machined on CNC centres in the workshop. Machining from solid holds tighter tolerances than casting or metal injection moulding ever can.

Materials
03 — The process

Materials

We machine 100% UK-sourced metals: 6082-T6 aerospace aluminium, CZ131 instrumentation brass, Medical Grade 304 and 316 stainless steel, and Aerospace Grade 2 titanium. Each has a distinct weight and character in the hand.

Inspection
04 — The process

Inspection

Components are measured against the drawing — not eyeballed. Micrometers and gauges confirm every critical dimension before a part moves to finishing. Parts that don't measure up don't ship.

Hand finishing
05 — The process

Hand finishing

Polished razors pass through a multi-level hand-polishing process; anodised parts are prepared and checked by hand. Machines make the geometry; hands make the finish.

Small batches
06 — The process

Small batches

We build in small batches, not mass production runs. Each batch is machined, finished and inspected together, which keeps quality tight and lets us keep improving between runs.

Made in Britain — and made to be checked.

Made in Britain — and made to be checked.

Our razors' metal components are machined and finished in our own British workshop from UK-sourced billet. Where a component comes from a specialist partner — like brush knots or blade cartridges — we say so on the product page.
