    So far, I've had no stories come into my head that revolve around razors.

    I have thought that a fictional novel based on historically accurate descriptions of period culture, the evoltion of the cutlery industry and the impact of one on the other would make an awesome novel, a la Ken Follettīs Pillars of the Earth for example. Exploring the class differences and life styles of the people around the Sheffield era, you could include everything from royality to child labour. An info-documentary with fictional but historically accurate characters for me that would be an extremely interesting read

    I will eventually stumble my way into enough information to do this.

    Hell, I could almost write a novel purely about the WWI refurbished razor I have, since I was lucky enough to get one owned by someone whose records still exist (apparently a lot were lost in WWII).

    But like you say, the broad cultural history would be a potentially fascinating book. It's a subject I've been thinking about for some time now.
