Razor, From Chunk Of Steel To Shaving

Daddy... Where do straight razors come from? :angel: :thinking:

Here is a video that other beginners might enjoy.
This shows the whole process (mistakes included).

It's even better when you are at Charlie's and he's pounding iron, but he's a cantankerous guy. Tc

I can't, I can't, I can't watch!!! When oh when will Charlie start making razors again!!!!

I love this video.

This also reinforced the concept (for me anyway) that you don't need to use a whole lot of strokes when you hone a new razor!

Well, I guess this answers what I'm doing this afternoon...

It's all in the geometry of the man doing the grinding on how easy to hone it will be. Tc
