CHEAP and AWESOME- How to make a STRAIGHT RAZOR at home

ALL MATERIALS AND TOOLS USED LISTED BELOW

After an impromptu visit to a specialty shaving store in Boston I fell in love with the look of a high quality straight razor. Unfortunately I don't have the money to throw at a $400 piece of shaving equipment so I decided to try my hand at making my own with basic knife making tools at home.
Here's how I did it!
