Erhm... no.

Melting down a razor takes resources and equipment that we typically don't have.
But even if we make do, we lose material (because steel remains in the crucible) and carbon (because it evaporates from the molten steel), and the little dribble of steel you get from a razor is not enough by far to make a new razor.

If you make a razor, a good amount of steel is ground away from the blank. If you'd somethow turn this razor into a new blank, you're going to lose material again; material which you already don't have to spare.

Besides, the amount of fuel you need for melting this razor would be more expensive than a razor sized steel bar of stock.
