omally thomas I'm 55 now too, but back in my mid 40's I got really sick and tired of paying high prices for multi blade inserts for modern razors. Even at Costco, $20 for 4 cartridges was just ridiculous. I looked around online and saw some pretty high prices for modern versions of straight razors and then landed on eBay and found some pretty good deals on older ones from around the 1920's and 30's. Picked one up for about $30, stropped it and went to work. I was a pretty bloody mess by the end of the whole thing, but something I noticed right away was that a nick didn't hurt as much and they healed extremely quick. After a few rounds with my new oddity I got pretty good with it. The key was prepping the face before hand, and keeping the angle correct. I now collect straight razors, preferably vintage ones, although I do have a few modern ones also. Living in Germany, I have access to some of the finest razors mass produced today. Solingen vs Sheffield ... Solingen is more flexible and glides across the skin following the curves and such. Sheffield has almost no flex at all and forces the skin to get out of the way or get lopped off. I prefer Solingen ;) One thing for sure about using a straight razor vs modern cartridge razors. You get a tremendously closer shave from a Straight, in fact it erases a good 10 years of age right off. Something about having a shave so close that no baby's bottom can compare! I hope you get back to doing things the old way. Even if you pay a couple hundred bucks on a new high grade modern razor, it will pay for itself within a few months. And the old soap in a mug and brush? Lasts so long you'll wonder why you ever picked up an aerosol can. Good luck with it !! Bob in Germany

Hello Charlie, if the spine of the razor is flat you don’t really need to know where you need to grind more. You should just grind until you reach an apex, the razor should shave without any edge on it. By putting an edge at 10 thousands ultimately you keep the edge thicker than it needs to be. I used your methods for a long time and you have taught me so much, i have watched your whole channel more than anyone alive i think and i thought i could give something back. Thanks for everything !

Several people have mentioned Bloodborne, I will have to use my google-fu and look up and see what you guys are talking about. I am more of a get off my lawn guy than a gamer.

To fill you in, most of the weapons in Bloodborne have a compact design, basically oversized folding knives

Always love watching a true craftsman/tradesman work their magic. Not many people left that can do this kind of work and especially at this skill level. Very cool video.

Something you never see with other knife/razor makers is them using it as intended. Great job for going the extra mile.👍

Beautiful work man. Makes me happy to see that we still have people doing this kind of art.

I don't comment much but that razor is a real work of art. I love the fact that you show the mistakes too. Mistakes happen, what you do about them is what matters.

Beautiful craftsmenship, it was a pleasure to watch! I am a craftsmen myself (a sculptor and taxidermist) and one year ago I forged my first knife. Not on your level yet, but it's a pleasure to work with different materials and create beautiful forms. It's great to see masters at work!

I wish I had the hand eye coordination to work with different media. The good thing about metal work for me is that is goes so slow I have time to correct. Thank you for your comment.

@@lewisrazors Based on your smithwork, I'm verry sure, you have the hand-eye coordination! At first I thought the blade protection is made of Mouflon horn or Antelope horn, and was surprised it's actualy wood. Sculpting, carving and forging are different in one way, but also similar at the same time in another way. You should try it, if you realy want to! And thanks for your reply too!
