And when's the last time you saw a custom razor maker make anything for less than $400, especially from a raw steel bloom?
Before you get hostile,first get ,buy or rent a sense of humor-the first comment was meant to be tongue in cheek-secondly $400 was a random number to make a point,and thirdly if there is such a word,there are people who DO make there own swords knives and such,the point was that
at $4000-there ARE people who posses the talent to make a razor like the one posted,and at a lessor price.Please don't get your panties in a knot. no offence intened
