BIGTIME shortcut from someone who does razors for a living. Cut your blanks in a diagonal line. The resulting taper if WAY faster to forge into a tail/handle.
great work, you should get a large magnet and put it on the bottom of the horn of ur anvil, it reduces ringing alot. Could use a welding magnet, I use just a large one from an old large Speaker

As someone who hones straight razors and has forged a couple, he is correct. The edge on a straight razor is so fine cutting paper like you did would destroy the edge. There is a big difference between "razor" sharp for knives and actual razor sharp. You should be tree topping arm hairs, not cutting paper.
@@shawnfeile Cutting paper is not that good for the edge, sure. But it does not destroy it. The ideal test to see if its sharp is to actually shave with it.
The thing about a straight razor is you never know that you cut yourself until you see the blood 😂
Nice work!

I bought some from harbor freight, they're a little janky, but they reduce the ringing so much!

Nice work! Do you mainly do straight razors?
Not really, this one was my first succeeded attempt.
@@AxlPBlacksmith nice great work! So do you usually forge kitchen knives or what is your main thing you forge?

Well done.
Amazing to watch 👍👍
That's shark for a knife but dull for a straight razor
Tell me how you know its dull since it shaved pretty well last time i used it.
