Nice!Really interesting!

I take it from the pics that you removed the edge section of the blades before flattening?
I didn't think it would work because the edges would be too thin, but you...

No disrespect to the FIF people, but I am fairly certain that if they did razors, I'd be yelling at the tv for all the stupid errors they would make.

I don't see it as practical. For pattern welding you need stuff to be flat-ish enough to form a billet that will stay together. Pile a bunch of razors together, hit it at welding temperature, and...

The only sensible way to do it is crucible smelting.
However that is a fairly tricky and pretty dangerous process. It's not rocket science, but working with molten metal can be extremely dangerous...

Assuming the steels are all normal carbon steels, the carbon content should even out quickly and if the welds are solid, you can heat treat it like normal carbon steel.

Keep in mind that there is no single Sheffield steel. They had a lot of variations so any mix will have an unknown carbon and alloying content.

Easiest way to make a new old Sheffield razor is...
