Part of the appeal of a razor blade plug is the industrial sensibility of the style. Razor blade plugs, which are made of metal and often styled like a turbine or reactor, contribute a rugged realism to a lightsaber hilt even when they are not illuminated.
Razor blade plugs look even cooler when they are illuminated because the light shines through all of the small slots in the rotary shaver head.
Darkside Engineering is most well-known for making high quality razor blade plugs, ranging from basic to ornate. Darkside Engineering also offers the widest selection of 1 inch diameter razor blade plugs designs.
Other sellers offer razor blades plugs as well. ARKM sells the widest selection of 7/8 inch diameter razor blade plugs. Etsy seller RogueArsenal (United States) [AFFILIATE LINK] and Warsabers (Russia) also offer a few razor blade plug styles.
Some lightsaber enthusiasts will construct their own razor blade plug as a DIY project as well. In order to make a very basic razor blade plug, all you need to do is attach a rotary shaver head to a small segment of a polycarbonate tube.
