    Nice video of razor manufacture in Sheffield, bonus shaving at the end. These old boys didn't mess around.

    Aloha!

    Great video. Thanks for posting that. I'm not sure why I do, but I love watching shaving videos. And the manufacture portion was interesting.

    The gentleman shaving at the end reminded me of my Grandfather (long rest his soul). He raised a family during the great depression, so his shaving den consisted of his kitchen table, a straight razor (an old Solingen that I still have), Ivory soap, a mug, a brush, a basin and a cheap drugstore table mirror. Simple but effective. Watching my grandfather shave gave me the desire to master a straight razor.

    I saw that a long while back. Seems he was one of the last Sheffield masters.

    "Which razor is that one?"

    He did mention the name at the end, Sellars or Southers, couldn't make it out too well though. His dismissal of shaving soap was funny too, it actually inspired me to try shaving with some carbolic soap which was a staple in England for many decades. Wasn't a bad shave to be fair.
