Very informative! Thank you for posting this 
Cool video.
3,300 hours!?!?!?!?!? Yikes. That is assuming a 8.76 minute shave every day for 62 years (18 to 80). If you shave for 15 minutes, your time commitment goes up to 5,658 hours.

Notice the lack of filming coverage in the sharpening stages of production. I will assume this may be the most proprietary and therefore off limits to the camera.

Very interesting
When I was in college, I worked summers at a band saw blade factory. The process they used for making their band saw blades was remarkeably similar.

+1.
Cool video but did not give an explanation of two vital questions that come up a lot on B&B:
1. Why the numbers on the blades?
2. How do the glue spots get on some blades?
Some are way more complicated, especially in that vacuum coating section.
L.S. Starrett perhaps?
American Saw and Steel (Lenox blades) East Longmeadow, MA.
They also have a "How it's made" for Merkur Vision and Futur razors

And if you want more, there's one for straight razors, DOVO I think.
