What a great vid. Vintage razors vintage machines most of that kit looks like it is driven from a shaft probably connected to a water wheel thats very old school.I love all the safety guards on the machines. Belts and stones in this one but it's the video I was thinking of. The tension of the stones is controlled by hand that is so bad ass!!!!!

Glenn is correct
I have seen the film he is talking about. It is killer, I don't see how he keeps from cutting his fingers off. I will post a link to it when I find it again. I think it is a TI video.

They are drop forged my friend.Watching the whole vid it looked like those small stones were only used for the very edge contour... Looked like the huge belts were used for the secondary grinding... Also I wonder what they used for the initial grinding as if you look close the razor blanks have grinds before he starts on the big belts....
Way cool video though thanks for sharing I can't believe I have missed that one all this time
Have fun,
Lynn

If you haven't seen the Dovo video below, it takes you from blank production, to heat treating, to initial stamping, to..well the whole way through. Check it out: Dovo Blades: Start to Finish
