Thanks to all you for the positive comments, SRP is a great place.

I do have to say the razor is a PIA to strop I cannot strop on autopilot as usual, I have to slow down and think about what I am doing. Maybe it will get better with time.

The transition is from where I had the frame clamped in the vise. I used a file with a safe edge ( teeth ground off of one side ). The smooth side of the file was up against the vise.

This is the first time I tried the vinegar, I put the clean razor in an insulated mug then poured boiling vinegar over it and let it set. Total time in the vinegar was about two hours. I would take it out and wipe off the black film about every 30 minutes with scotch-brite.

I have thought about end mills and slitting saws but have not thought of an easy way to make them work. I used an abrasive cut off wheel in a die grinder to cut the slit. http://straightrazorpalace.com/forge...le-blades.html The slot came out a little large this time. I ended up hammering the slot closed till I had a nice interference fit. I think that I will do the same thing next time. Hammering the slot around some scrap blade stock, then taking out the stock and hammering a bit more made for a real good fit.

Charlie, you are one clever chap. My wife (who is completely disinterested in razors) jaw hit the carpet at the sight of your razor. It is extreme Gothic.
Well done Marcus

Spaz that has to be one of the nicest razors I have ever seen bar none!!!!!!!!!!

with the steep curve of the blade, and the matte finish, the whole affair just screams "steampunk"


very cool looking

That is one cool cutting machine!!!!!!!!

Wicked, wicked, wicked.
