Come on Joseph, take us on that razor making journey! Great restoration as always, doing those superb craftsmen of yester year proud. Well done indeed.
Look forward to seeing what you come up with. The annealing is the key to a good razor. See if you can get "Metallurgy of Steel for Bladesmiths and Others who Heat Treat and Forge Steel" by John D. Verhoeven as it's got all sorts of info you'll need on your journey.
Hello Joseph, looking for forward to some work of you. I know it will be high standard like al your restorations. You do good 👍,maybe one day i will own a razor then from you.
Lovely tiny razor Joseph. Anyway both performed great. Good cream as well. Tobs produce fantastic creams at a very affordable price. Another jolly good show my friend. Look always to see you. Take care and stay sharp.👍
making razors wow . forging steel or using flat bar already done mate . i can imagine forging steel would need a pretty big workshop for the hammers and such . plus some pretty laid back next door neighbours 🤣🤣🤣
@@EdgeDynamicsEnglishRazors oooo yes i have 2 forged modem razors and i love them one has very interesting scales indeed . i really look forward to seeing your work my friend . have you found a steel that suites your needs . they don’t make it like they used to
Great skill to shave with that little blade. How fiddly was that? Making your own razors sounds challenging for sure, not to say pretty expensive too. Are you planning only wedges or will you have a bash at framebacks too? Best of luck, T
Hi Trunker, It was easier than anticipated, I haven't measured it but it is defiantly under 5/8ths. Making razors is expensive but how can you put a price on destiny :) I have many ideas wedges mainly and maybe faux frambacks . Many thanks.
Joseph is a razor master. It is always a pleasure to see the shaves you perform. By the way Musgo Black is a top notch cream. Have a great week my friend.
@@Martins-Shaves123 Thanks Martin, Jnat honing is a spiritual experience for me. If the mountain has a spirit then do does a piece of it :) The older the razor the better in my books. Thanks for the compliments.. Have a great week. Cheers.
5:36 I still find it funny that you always do the left side in one stroke. Old habits I suppose. I like that John Heiffer, it deserves a new set of scales.
I push the pin true with my drill machine but don't let it run. But the pin for tapping in the drill machine and push it true. The scales don't brake like that.
Hi, They are for sale on my website which is linked in the description. Unfortunately the website is broken at the moment but should be back to normal later today. Thanks
W Greaves & Sons, what a treasure. And Joseph, you really are a razor master. It is a pleasure seeing any of your vids. Please never give up of showing your skill mate. Have a great week my friend.👍
Great stones. However, the condition of the last stone is very poor; it was dropped during processing and has internal fractures. Why do you need such a large size? Is it really convenient to use?
Amazing finish on the cooper 👏 possibly pewter caps and inlay ? Im not surprised it shaved you well , as you'd already found the qualities of the steel 🎉 Excellent shave from your wonderful restoration 👏
Hi, These stones are sedimentary and can be unstable to a degree. Sealing the stone stops water from soaking in at the sides and it also creates a protective case. Untreated, pressure at the sides can cause layers to separate. Thanks
@@EdgeDynamicsEnglishRazors Ah okay, that makes sense. I've never used natural stones, I just use my stones for sharpening so I have ceramics (mostly sigma power).
Hi Johnny, It all about removing the grind marks so that a flat surface remains. I am the only person capable of this, maybe Dovo/ T.I can do this also. It is a secret that i would not share because there are many razor or knife makers wanting that knowledge. Thanks
Thanks for posting Joseph. It seems that Arran improved a lot the creams. The razors were fantastic as usual. Good show mate. Hope you are doing well and busy. Stay safe. Cheers.
