Hey guys. Here are some custom bladesmiths talking about making straight razors. There also a cool picture of a wootz damascus one. Here's the link.

It looks like they could use some useful information about making them and what you guys like and don't like. I wouldn't be surprised to see quite a few custom knifemakers start offering straights this year or next.
