    Default first try at razor from scratch, wrinkles

    Here is my first attempt at a razor from scratch. It was going well until the very end when it developed wrinkles on the edge. I am guessing that there must be some internal stresses at work. The blade is ground down to .010 for approximately 3/16 from the edge. Maybe I ground it too thin? Maybe I did something funky with the heat treatment?

    I learned a lot during the process and am ready to try again, this time I will buy some steel instead of using an old file.
