Straight Razor, How to Do
On this instructable I will show you how to do your own blade. I am inspired by Lewis Razors, he is a big artisan, but on my small garage I am not able to forge with a good hammer, but I enjoy a lot with the things I have or I can make.

We Create Our Blade in Our Desired Shape.
We Cut With Our Grinder Arm Saw and Then We Rough Down.
We Rework the Edges of the Blade Handle.
We Outline the Center of Our Razorblade.
We Begin to Rough Down With Our Belt Sander (Sandpaper Number 60), Once We Have Get a Typical Two Middle Moons. My Belt Sander Is Located in a Small Wooden Support Made by Myself ( I Will Explain How to Do It in Another Instructable).
We File Down the Curve and Then We Take Off the Inside Point.
We Put in the Forge and Heat to Red-hot, Then We Must Cool in Oil.
With Our Sandpaper Number 120 We Keep on Working, Please Take Into Mind That I Need to Cool First, Because We Don´t Want to Get Temperature Through. Then We Use a Sandpaper Number 240.
We Use Now a Sandpaper Number 400 and We Sand Down.
We Pulish With Our Grinder.
We Finish Sharping With a Whetstone.
We Put on a Paper the Razorblade, and the We Draw the Blade Draw As Our Convenience. Then We Trim the Paper.
On the Wood, We Place Our Stencil and Paint With a Spray to Have the Idea Drawed.
We Trim the Blade Draw, We Can Do It With the Elements We Have in Our Garage.
Stick With Double-sided Both Sides, and Rework With a Belt Sand. on This Step, I Should Have Work the Blade Draw More Before, Because at the End, the Edge Was Placed and It Would Be Better to Give a Definitive Shape Before.
We Drill the Edge With a 1.5mm Drill Bit Both Sides of the Blade Draw. We Must Create a Wood Block Wedged With the Same Thickness of the Edge, We Will Use It As a Block.
Now We Are Going to Put Together the Blade, Pasted With Epoxi Resin.
Tighten With a Pliers.
Now We Rework and Give Shape to the Blade Draw. This Step Must Have Been Done Before.
We Give the Last Retouch.
Apply Linseed Oil and Enjoy Another Good Day Job.
