Dovo, Thiers Issard, Boker to name a couple, and by nature they must be done by hand.... I don't think you'd ever get consistency trying to get a machine to auto-make a grind or a bevel

Yea, Dovo just did some adjusting to the number of models that will be available from them in the future to try and decrease the wait times for delivery. Seems young Germans don't find a 10 year apprenticeship to learn how to grind razors an attractive proposition. So hardly stamped out like cookies, much hand work is involved.

With todays CNC technology it would be very simple to make a perfect Blade in a matter of minutes.

Could be but there must be a reason why none seem to be doing it.

Market is not worth the cost of tooling up to do it.

That is great for knives and the lovely hollow grinds they often get. You have all seen vids of harmonic vibration getting out of control. If a thin razor "sings" that is vibration and if it happens during a grind the sing is modified into a harmonic oscillation which, unfortunately will twist and wiggle the blade. When that happens, the blade will basically explode. The touch of a master grinder detect any vibration other than abrasion and modifies the stroke and speed of advance. A pre-hardening grind would be a different story and the metal is not hard.
So even renewing a blade, if I hear a singing I "STOP' and do a different approach.
Here's a video of the singing vibration on a plate. Imagine a XXii razor!

That is the "code" on the ceiling of Rosslyn Chapel. It's called cymatics.
