Not sure if it has already been posted, but this is really cool! I had seen Mr. Lewis's videos on scale making but its the first time I see this one. Really impressive custom work.

Charlie has a very unique style, I love it!

I'm thinking the GDs may not be made with such attention to details!!

That being said, I'm curious as to how easy it would be to add jimps to the GD using the same tools. I love how they come out in the video.

edit: Just realised he did the jimps before doing a final heat treatment, if I understand the process correctly, so I imagine the steel is much harder to work after that.

I've never seen this one before. Thanks for sharing...fascinating process and great workmanship.

I got to hang out with Charlie this last weekend and actually got to handle this razor. It is beautiful, and Charlie was a great guy to boot.
