    Default Production of blades and razors

    Thought I'd share that I just noticed that an episode of "How It's Made" on the ScienceChannel will feature "traditional" razor blades and "butterfly" safety razors tonight at 7:30PM CDT.

    There's two separate segments; one on safety razors and DEs, and another on Dovo straights. I looked at my local listings tonight and neither show :( I'd much prefer to watch this in high def on my TV and not on youtube.

    I have Dish Network...its on there. Thee is also an episode of Modern Marvels on the History Channel (think the title is sharps or something similar) that shows the manufacture of Gillette blades.
