All of this talk of steels and grinders has been fueling my desire to make a razor. I have been toying with the idea for quite awhile. I think I will order some 1095 and try a stock removal type blade. My problem is, what to use for a heat source to harden the blade. I was thinking of the one brick forge that is in W. Goddard’s book or some variation of a bean can forge. I do not want the best, but I would like something that will last for a few blades. I am looking for ideas.

If I get the razor making AD in the future I can upgrade. Right now I am just looking for an inexpensive way to make do.

Thanks

Charlie
