Good luck, Charlie. The $50 Knife Shop is a great book. I picked myself up a copy just recently. Think of how many thousands of hobby knife makers there are in the U.S. alone. Razor making may just be the next outgrowth of that. I too have my "wheels turning". I live in an area of the U.S. that's known for quarrying granite. In that same book you mention, Goddard talks about a granite anvil rather than a steel anvil and said he really liked using one (no noise, solid as, well, a rock). I'd buy a granite hunk for sure to use as a forge if I get bitten by the bug.
I'm sure a few of the few that are making customs will chime in.
