Razors are tough to make, period. Look at all the knife makers, then look at the number of quality razor makers. Sure makes you appreciate a quality razor!
I'm not even close to making my own blades, a lot more needs to come together in my mind and life for that to happen. For now I'm very happy making and learning restoration and customs. It's been fulfilling.
This what you said is so true for all aspects, for every project I think. Especially such complicated ones such as SR creation.. the more I read these posts, the more respect I'm gaining for the artists/manufacturers of old and new.
Someday, I'll be there I hope. Building blocks of info and know how, jumping in and following through. Good stuff.
Thanks for the thought provocative input!
