Hello all,
This is only my second post, and probably not even 24 hours after I discovered this site and the fascinating information on it. I did a search and was not able to find anything about straight Razor production.
Has anyone ever attempted to craft their own straight razor? I was thinking about it and was wondering what type of stainless steel is commonly used.
It seemed to me that a razor with a wedge grind could be accomplished with enough time, effort and good base of knowledge.
It is not my intention to trivialize the creation of such a thing, as I know much like any other craft one gains mastery only after years of experience. It would be an interesting project, and if nothing else I would gain a more profound appreciation.
Thanks for your time,
Derek
