Thread: Razor Making Demonstration

Yeah I wish I could've gone. But of course, I would've bugged you with questions for about an 3 hours afterwards

Awesome Job Charlie.
Long as you remember to put on your codpiece in the morning when you dress the apron is not such a necessity.

Very cool! The only guests that came to my design school were pretentious, self-absorbed blowhards who haven't sunk a nail or drawn a sketch since 82... Great to see your artistry recognized by an institution!

Charlie has disciples...

Sheesh, they couldn't have loaned a guy an apron.

Congrats on the gig Charlie. That's my kind of higher learnin'.

That should make several prospective owners very happy


Would have been fun to attend - just as well you make videos for the rest of us to share in the magic.

Were any of them interested in trying one out for a real shave?

That's is awesome, would have loved to been there.

Yes, I lent out two vintage razors and a strop. Maybe they will take to a straight razor.

They asked me to come back next semester. If I do the talk again I will make an announcement in advance. Everybody is welcome at their workshops.

Very cool , and they somewhat look interested! what amazes me is the size of the motor on the grinder?

I really want to get into making straight razors. Gah!
