Great video and the soundtrack suits it well. Owning 2 of Cedrics works Myself, this was really cool to see :)

Thanks for sharing, very interesting watch :)

Thanks for the useful and professionally produced video!:tu

Great video thanks for sharing :<0)

Awesome video! surprised to see that the 'hollowing' is all free hand; Cedric's angles always look so clean and precise, had assumed there would be some sort of jig involved. Hope to own one one of these days ;-)

Just fantastic, amazing Vid,Thank you for posting

cool vid, cool razor, thanks for sharing!

Awesome stuff. Wonderful to give people a glimpse of a craftsman at work.
well done.

From the man that always has something to say, you have left me speechless. I now have a reason to save my pennies (and nickels, dimes, quarters and dollars). Thank you for such a concise and illuminating video. What a beautiful razor.

Inspirational video, very informative. Ali makes it look too easy.

I could do that.... I just need the equipment, the talent, and the guy who can make the straight razor..... But other than that, I could do it...

thank you for posting.
very interesting/informative and professionally produced video

What a great video. Thanks you so much for sharing that one.

It's funny how an assembly of clips of a great tradesman can make it all look so very simply, don't try this at home kids.

very nice razor and it is always interesting to me to have a peak into workshops and how things are being made ..

Neat video! Thanks for posting.

So much work to create a beautiful blade..

Ali has shared with us a few moments of creativity that few of us will ever experience. He is to be commended not only for his gifted talent but also for his sharing spirit. Thank you for showing us you heart and soul, Ali. :chapeau

Absolutely amazing video!!! Can't imagine how much total time and effort you put into this project.
Love the razor but I have to ask you a question.
How did you avoid burning your fingers off when sanding the metal? I saw how long you held
it before you dipped. I was getting palpitations just watching you do it. ;)

Beautiful video. And the resulting razor looks amazing!

Cheers.

Great video.
Thank you for sharing.

I would like to ask what kind of spray you use during stroping on the strap side. And why? I have Kanayama strop and maybe I can use the tip for my wooden strape side.

Not much use asking in this thread since user- 'xALIx' who makes these razors hasn't shown up, come to think of it, I haven't sen him post anything in a long while.

You might be able to reach him by pm.

Thank you, Baxxer! I will send him a pm.

I hadn't had the greatest day, but watching this video brought me some peace. Thank you
