If some kid called you a loof ball, would you think that would be OK? Therefore, you don't think the Lord knows what you are trying to say with your expressions such as dang?
@willstelter hey will I checked out your church, seems pretty cool and although I don’t believe everything the same it’s still cool that it’s important to you and it’s awesome to see it apart of your videos!
I've shaved with straights for years, you have to strop the blade after honing it up to a really high grit. My stones go to 12,000, then I have two strops to finish. If you skip the strops, it's extremely uncomfortable. Love seeing young smiths making such classic blades! Thanks!
I have the 12000 grit blue sand stone from the now closed Japanese underwater stone pits off the main island. But I always finish with a 36,000 grit diamond cream followed by a soft wheel with 60,000 diamond dust grit. I spend about 4 hours a week sharpening everything but I always love the way my sharpest razors come out.
I bought a straight razor for the first time a couple years ago. I never thought they'd be any good for me because i have dense, coarse beard. If I sneeze too hard after freshly shaving, I sprout 6 weeks of growth. To my surprise...hands down the best shave and razor ever. any cuts? heaps...but it just looks so bad ass when you shave with one. Even a cheap one like mine. It's like you know how much damage you could do with it. My son saw me shaving with it and straight away wanted to learn how to use one. I have one that you put feather blade refills into, but my wife bought me a vintage one like this for christmas. Just waiting to get a strop and i'm in business for never having to buy a razor EVER AGAIN! Great looking razor Will. That handle is sexy AF!
18:15 That razor is elegant yet masculine, and stunning in its simplicity. Thank you for the hard work you put in to create this thing of beauty. I am sure Kyle at 'Man Of The Woods' will give you constructive and inspirational feedback.
I loved the cut from grinding to showing the blade and your hand covered in red layout fluid! Really looked liked you and the razor were covered in blood for a second there! :-D Also just gorgeous work on the razor, one of the best pieces you've built on the channel. Hats off to Isiah as well on the videography on this episode, the close up work on some of the shots was spectacular.
15:40, what do I hear? One of my favorite Marty Robins songs from Gunfighter Ballads “El Paso” Will surprises me again, not only a sweet straight razor but cool music too!
Damn these razors are insanely sharp. I found one belonging to my great grandpa once when cleaning an old storage room when i was little. As i was holding it it closed on my hand and cut straight to the bone between my thumb and index finger like it was nothing after decades of sitting in a box. I would like to one day muster up the courage and skill and use that blade for shaving.
The look you gave the camera at 14:23 lmao. Your not just a talented blacksmith, but a funny kid. I'm glad you're still doing videos bud, yt just wouldn't be the same without ya lol.. Can't wait to see what you make next, maybe something damascus?? This came out pretty darn awesome.
A straight razor shave is definitely an art form and I only trust one person to do that. He’s currently 74 years young and teaching his grandson to take over the barber shop and business. I think I can trust him also… I’ll let you know
You've reminded me of a 23 year old me living in Santa Cruz CA and sharpening my 4" blade Uncle Henry to the point I could save with it. I freaked out my roommate as he passed the open bathroom door to find me with a knife at my throat. Good Times. It shaved pretty good especially after screwing a long piece of leather belt next to the sink for stropping.
took me down a MASSIVE rabbit hole trying to find out about multiply church! hope your pastor thanks you for all the internet traffic you just sent his way!
The more I see you and others making straight razors, the more I am tempted to find a good one. I grew up with the old 'safety razor' shavers and then morphed to the multi-blade types. I have been to barber shops and have had straight razor shaves and when they're quality, they are smoother than a high-quality 5-blade razor that I use nowadays.
I switched over to straight razors almost 3 years ago now and am so glad that I did. If you are looking for a quality razor at a reasonable price point, I would recommend anything from Ralf Aust. Even a $100 entry level 5/8 with plastic scales is good from him. That is the first good blade I got and I still use it on a weekly basis. Just keep it stropped and about once a month run it on a set of stones to keep the blade sharp and give the edge a mirror finish.
Thanks, Wil, I now know how to sharpen a straight razor. I've used a "Barber" injector blade straight razor for years. I bought a steel one some years back but have never been able to get it sharp enough to shave with. Now I know! GOD Bless you, son, and your family.
what a beautiful thing man, I love that you revisited the straight razor so that you could improve on the geometry for better performance. Wish I could buy one! Btw I like how this video felt more calming than what I remember in the past.
Many years ago I thought about getting and using a straight razor to shave with but I thought I would end up slicing my throat and I like living. Here is a like and comment to help your channel grow and get you the recognition you deserve.
There were two times I almost clicked away because the forge and power hammers were neglected, but the cinematic quality on this video was so good I stayed. The close-ups of the tools paired excellently with the background music on the b-roll and kept me engaged even without sparks and fire
That is one of the prettiest modern straight razors I've seen. It's clear you looked at classic designs and understood why they look the way they look, all too often craftsmen just make straight razor for the heck of it, and they look utterly unusable to anyone who actually uses straight razors. Well done! As for sharpening you'll see a lot of people giving their opinion. They're all good opinions I'd say, but it's also worth remembering that people have different requirements and tastes. Some may prefer the laser sharp, some might prefer it a bit less. Some have a light beard, some have a full beard out of steel bristles. For me, though I only occasionally use straight razors nowadays, it's sufficient to go up 8000 grit, finish up on a translucent arkansas stone, and then strop on linen and then leather. I should get a 12000 grit hone, and maybe also another strop that I can put diamond paste on, but my current setup works as well, so I've saved my money thus far. Since I have several knives and a light beard I only need to resharpen occasionally, maybe it helps also that most of my razors are vintage Swedish ones, I've hear that the quality of the steel is one of the best (if not the best) in razors out there so they hold their edge well.
I remember first watching you will on alex's channel and thinking back then, it going to be fun watching this young lad thinking he is going to be a master of knives one day. It was clear you had passion, drive and a goal. Didn't take you long did it! And i love the shop, just full of tool with such history behind them. It must be amazing knowing where they might have been, what they might have been doing as you use them to craft your art. Thanks again for a great video!
I've restored and shave with str8s for 13 years and learned from some good websites dedicated to str8 razors and shaving in general.. Straightrazorpalace and Badgerandblade are two... I destroyed at least two razors before I got it in my head. Good luck.
A truly enjoyable video. The factual presentation combined with your enthusiasm, humility, and showing the detail work makes this not just a learning experience, but an entertaining one as well.
Beautiful! Straight Razors fascinate me even though I've got a big beard and don't shave! If I did shave I would definitely use a straight razor! I use one to trim up the edges of my beard and thoroughly enjoy using it!
I tried do do a similar thing a while back and had a struggle. It wsd very fun and ended up looking very nice. But dodnt work well. The intro to this video explained why mine didnt work well so i appreciate that. Nice work as usual
I looked away for a few seconds and was still listening. And then when I look back I see Wills hands covered in red, and a razor covered in a blood looking substance. Red dykem for the win again
8:21 the music starts-finally! I like straight razors, although they are kind o f a pain to use; but I appreciate the craftsmanship that goes into making them. The beveling on the handle is pretty cool, and I love the sweeping lines; almost art deco. Great build!
Marty Robbins? Didn't realize you even knew who he was, awesome singer!!!! Old El Paso was the song I heard a tiny clip of about 3/4 of the way through the video.
I remember seeing cowboy movies where the barber used a leather strop to hone the blade. I found out that "jeweler's rouge" was impregnated into the leather. Now-a-days common buffing polish is used. The ratings are brown, green, blue and white, from low grit to high. The blades last longer, as an abrasive stone may be fine initially, they take off too much metal in the long run.
Beautiful job on that razor Will! Something to think about incorporating into future designs from a user standpoint is some jimping on the tang between the heel and scales. Makes for a much more secure grip while shaving with soap and water.
I love and appreciate the craftsmanship as well as the NOT off- the- shelf life long durability that was once commonplace in America, so thank you for bringing back Americana at its finest. P.S. would love to purchase one...fyi
Great work Will! Excellent character to go back with fresh understanding to conquer a challenge that bested you once before. Thanks for bringing us along.
Very nice looking razor Will. The green handle looks really nice rich and dark. Really glad you did not slice your hand or fingers when you fumbled the razor. I don't know if it was fully sharpened yet but glad you didn't cut yourself..
There are tons of razors on instagram that probably could have inspired some design elements and showing what really is possible. Also Charlie Lewis has an excellent video where is actually forged the razor. Its a long video but a great watch
I like the new approach of using the b-roll close ups with just the shop sounds in the background. A little voice over instead of the on screen text might bring up the video polish. Just my opinion, of course.
Here on my island I have a horrible humid problem and my Bismarck razor’s permanently oxidised, so now I do have a Japanese style hand forge razor of rust free material to overcome the problem
Im pretty sure blades are listed in eighths and quarters. I have a couple old ones i brought back to life, hours of whet stoning. Manually wore out a half inch Arkansas between the two.
I've been restoring and using straight razors for around twenty years now. I absolutely hated the first one you made, but this one looks way better. I was iffy on the scales at first, but you thinned them enough that they look usable now. I was really good at sharpening knives, but it seriously took me like a year to get a good handle on honing a razor so it would shave comfortably.
I would have never figured you to be a Marty Robbins fan. Looks like a fine job! Keep on crafting. My old ass will be setting up a shop as soon as I get my farm fenced, (Now-March 2023) and house built (summer 2023).. but I will stick to leaf pendants, necklaces, and S-hooks for a couple of years..
You should try grinding and sanding with smaller tolerances per pass, when you press to hard you work harden the steel; if you work harden it too much then put it in the kiln to harden, you will do the opposite effect, I found this out after I Rockwell tested my first ever project and everywhere near the edge that had been work hardened multiple times was 20% softer than the rest of the steel
I’m sure your friend is a professional but vintage emerald green dye used to be made with arsenic. It might be worth it to look into the safety of using this material for future projects, especially when grinding. Great job on the blade!
That was a very nice handle and blade. I really enjoy watching you. Your very polite and professional. Thank you for the opportunity to watch and learn . God bless. Have a wonderful day.
I am surprised to hear you had issues initially, I sharpen my woodworking chisels to an edge so sharp it can slice hairs lengthwise and they are at 25 to 30 degrees. I am just using diamond stones and a strip. Very nice though.
Your razor turned out looking fantastic, if I'm ever in your neck of the woods, I'll try to get a haircut at that barber. Which is funny because I have a hair appointment in an hour and a half.😂
I recently have gotten head over heals into whetstone sharpening. I was wanting to start a sharpening service using belts sanders as I always have, but dem stones tho. That being said… let’s see your stone set up bro!
At about 13:30 I was judging will for looking so focused with his mouth open and such, than became very aware that I was doing the exact same thing. Great blade will! Love the work:)

Nomatter how sharp I've made my straight cut razor's they can never cut my facial hair, but they shave my arms smooth 😂
Leather strop with finest grit jewelers rouge might take it to insanity sharp levels.
@@knifethrower9733 the geometry could be wrong.
He did mention near the end that he stropped it after the wet stones.
I have the 12000 grit blue sand stone from the now closed Japanese underwater stone pits off the main island.

The handle looks insanely good, not just the material but also the design. It’s a nice balance between knife and classical razor aesthetics.
It's trippy seeing a surface grinder that uses a belt sander for the grinding surface.
That's awesome.

Agreed! Maybe he actually ran out of layout fluid so improvised with some 'red fluid' ;)
I laughed hard at that cut too. unintentional or not, that was amazing!
aight im glad i wasnt the only one to think that
This definitely is one of those videos that shows the high level of craftsmanship you have. I loved watching this.
15:40, what do I hear? One of my favorite Marty Robins songs from Gunfighter Ballads “El Paso” Will surprises me again, not only a sweet straight razor but cool music too!
I'm only 5 minutes in, but I gotta say that the cinematography and editing so far seems to have bumped up a notch! Really good stuff! 👍😊
I'm very pleased to see you revisiting this topic to produce a more usable shaver. When's the first-shave video?
Damn these razors are insanely sharp. I found one belonging to my great grandpa once when cleaning an old storage room when i was little. As i was holding it it closed on my hand and cut straight to the bone between my thumb and index finger like it was nothing after decades of sitting in a box.

Youve really come a long way, man. Great razor, totally professional video edit. Kudos
I was thinking the same thing! The production quality is awesome. I wish there were a little more music
I love the use of red dicam. I thought you had sliced a finger, bled all over the blade, and was just going on like nothing happened 😂
The look you gave the camera at 14:23 lmao. Your not just a talented blacksmith, but a funny kid. I'm glad you're still doing videos bud, yt just wouldn't be the same without ya lol..

Okay, I hate using these words but 08:39 is friggin adorable, that shot of doggo with the music. *Chefs kiss* damn good editing

Wicked knife but that emerald green absolutely makes things pop. Has such a gorgeous vintage look
what a beautiful thing man, I love that you revisited the straight razor so that you could improve on the geometry for better performance. Wish I could buy one! Btw I like how this video felt more calming than what I remember in the past.
You have an amazing amount of patience to sharpen on a whetstone to that perfect edge, Also love your choice of music!
Many years ago I thought about getting and using a straight razor to shave with but I thought I would end up slicing my throat and I like living. Here is a like and comment to help your channel grow and get you the recognition you deserve.
15:40 Major props for listening to Marty Robbins while working. He is my absolute favourite country/western singer.
Micarta is fun to work with. I’ve made my own for knife handles. So many options for color and texture. Nice blade.
There were two times I almost clicked away because the forge and power hammers were neglected, but the cinematic quality on this video was so good I stayed. The close-ups of the tools paired excellently with the background music on the b-roll and kept me engaged even without sparks and fire

That straight razor turned out lookin' really really good. Well done, Will.
Some others makers would have turned this build into a 12 part, 8 minute video series with 3 ads each, with about 6 redo’s. Good job Will!
I remember first watching you will on alex's channel and thinking back then, it going to be fun watching this young lad thinking he is going to be a master of knives one day. It was clear you had passion, drive and a goal.

No Music! Yes! This is amazing!
Been following this young man since his beginnings… Is a pleasure to watch his journey. A true craftsman…
New editing style is 🤌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼
I enjoy the "This O' House" vibe you are making for your content.
Simple sleek design that just looks fantastic.
Marty Robbins? Didn't realize you even knew who he was, awesome singer!!!! Old El Paso was the song I heard a tiny clip of about 3/4 of the way through the video.
This video was a 10/10 great, well edited, fitting music and great craftsmanship
The sparse use of music worked really well in this video! Really cool looking razor.
The irony that Will has no real need for a razor is not lost on me, but I’ll be damned if I wasn’t excited to see how it turned out!
I remember seeing cowboy movies where the barber used a leather strop to hone the blade. I found out that "jeweler's rouge" was impregnated into the leather. Now-a-days common buffing polish is used. The ratings are brown, green, blue and white, from low grit to high. The blades last longer, as an abrasive stone may be fine initially, they take off too much metal in the long run.
This is my favorite thing you have made. I loved this straight razor.
Such a beautiful build. Great work like always.
Beautiful job on that razor Will! Something to think about incorporating into future designs from a user standpoint is some jimping on the tang between the heel and scales. Makes for a much more secure grip while shaving with soap and water.
So happy that you stopped making projects like this one into a 10 part series.
I love and appreciate the craftsmanship as well as the NOT off- the- shelf life long durability that was once commonplace in America, so thank you for bringing back Americana at its finest.
P.S. would love to purchase one...fyi
Fantastic Will, I just don’t think you’ll be needing it for a little while.
Marty is the best shop doggo!
Happy new year 🎉 to you and your family and friends and God bless you 🙏 all
Great work Will! Excellent character to go back with fresh understanding to conquer a challenge that bested you once before. Thanks for bringing us along.
Very nice looking razor Will. The green handle looks really nice rich and dark. Really glad you did not slice your hand or fingers when you fumbled the razor. I don't know if it was fully sharpened yet but glad you didn't cut yourself..
I like this new video format. It looks like a documentary. It is very clear and satisfying.
There are tons of razors on instagram that probably could have inspired some design elements and showing what really is possible. Also Charlie Lewis has an excellent video where is actually forged the razor. Its a long video but a great watch
Agreed 😀👍
I miss you and Alec’s colabs!
I like the new approach of using the b-roll close ups with just the shop sounds in the background. A little voice over instead of the on screen text might bring up the video polish. Just my opinion, of course.
Here on my island I have a horrible humid problem and my Bismarck razor’s permanently oxidised, so now I do have a Japanese style hand forge razor of rust free material to overcome the problem
Im pretty sure blades are listed in eighths and quarters. I have a couple old ones i brought back to life, hours of whet stoning. Manually wore out a half inch Arkansas between the two.

Like seeing how you explain your insights into how you make the blade truly a Will Stelter
Used some of that emerald micarta on a knife a while back and have been kicking myself for not buying more of it while they had it ever since.
For such a beautiful razor, it would be a good platform for some spine filing like a vine pattern and some jimping to provide more grip.
Ok buddy. You did a great job on that!
You’re so talented 🥹 God bless us with your art
You should try grinding and sanding with smaller tolerances per pass, when you press to hard you work harden the steel; if you work harden it too much then put it in the kiln to harden, you will do the opposite effect, I found this out after I Rockwell tested my first ever project and everywhere near the edge that had been work hardened multiple times was 20% softer than the rest of the steel
That green is stunning.
Since those are titanium screws, you could anodize them to have a at least similar, if not matching color. Should be in the range of 92-100 volts :)
Love your style and sense of humor.
You do some great work. This is another truly impressive piece.
Be proud Will!... Looks insane! As does the filming...
I’m sure your friend is a professional but vintage emerald green dye used to be made with arsenic. It might be worth it to look into the safety of using this material for future projects, especially when grinding. Great job on the blade!
That came out incredible.
I enjoy these straight razors. You did a great job. The milling looks like a lot of extra work: scales with a spacer would have made a simple design.
That was a very nice handle and blade. I really enjoy watching you. Your very polite and professional. Thank you for the opportunity to watch and learn . God bless. Have a wonderful day.
As always incredibly nice craftsmanship man, both you and Alec are so damn talented. Keep up the good work.
Great job Will!
Bro one after another you make something amazing keep it up much love
Love shaving with my straight razors would love to have one of yours in my collection in an 8/8 width blade
Your craft is amazing brother ! Always enjoy watching !
I am surprised to hear you had issues initially, I sharpen my woodworking chisels to an edge so sharp it can slice hairs lengthwise and they are at 25 to 30 degrees. I am just using diamond stones and a strip. Very nice though.
that doesnt nearly cut it for a razor.
Like comparing your chisel to a chainsaw blade lol
Beautiful workmanship, great video. 👍
Really beautiful piece, simple, and clean nicely understated! Is
Your razor turned out looking fantastic, if I'm ever in your neck of the woods, I'll try to get a haircut at that barber. Which is funny because I have a hair appointment in an hour and a half.😂
In a few years, with maturity, your whiskers will be worthy of such a fine instrument of grooming.
What a beauty!! Brilliant work Will! Love it
This whole video is a giant flex on Alex‘s Katar failure😂
I recently have gotten head over heals into whetstone sharpening. I was wanting to start a sharpening service using belts sanders as I always have, but dem stones tho. That being said… let’s see your stone set up bro!
