First attempt at making a razor (Work in Progress)
This is O1 steel that hopefully will end up as about a 7/8, or close to it, razor. I forgot to take picture of cutting it out but I did it by marking the outline on the steel and the drilled around it one hole right next to the other. From there I cut it out with a hacksaw and then ground the edges on a grinder. Any thoughts or opinions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for looking,
Marc

I'm afraid I can't give you any advice on actually making the thing, but I will say that I *love* its shape!
Can't wait to see it finished.
It was in original condition, faded red, well-worn, but nice.
This was and still is my favorite combination; beautiful, original, and worn.

I had time this past semester in my ethics class to doodle a lot on the edges of my notes. I got a 4.0 in the class and a few more ideas for razors.

Pretty cool. Are you going to grind it? Or you going for a wedge?

I am aiming for quarter hollow to near wedge. I am using a six inch wheel so, if I rememeber what I read from a post that I cannot find now, I should be right about there Originally Posted by Jmveness

O1 work hardens to a certain degree, so be sure to cool it a lot when grinding. Otherwise it is going to take longer than necessary.

Looks like your off to a nice start.
Good judgment comes from experience, and experience....well that comes from poor judgment.

Ditto on the shape of the blade. Looks like it's going to be a real shaver...........
I believe my HART razor is 01 tool steel also.

It is 1/4 thick stock. That should give me the 3.5:1 ratio of blade size to spine thickness that I am looking for. Originally Posted by shooter74743
