I enjoy making things with metal and why I don't have the skills nor all the equipment to start making straight razors yet I'm doing research on how it's done and gathering up things such as equipment and supplies to start. I've made a few blanks and scales just to test out my skill level just with a mild steel in which I'm pretty sure is a lot different than working with the correct type of metal and so far not to bad (in my opinion anyways) but hopefully I can gain knowledge and support through the process and learn tried methods of how its done and be on my way to making a good quality straight razor.
