Thread: Forging to Shaving Video, The Whole Enchilada

For a while now I have been wanting to make a video that documents the whole process of making a razor. This is a soup to nuts video, I have included a little bit of most of the steps. I start with a chunk of metal and finish by shaving with the razor.
