Seems a new video was posted on youtube about the manufacture of DE razor blades. Interesting little video.

I wouldn't call DE shaving traditional, but I suppose it's all a matter of perspective.

Not necessarily all are sharp enough seems a couple brands forget the sharpening process

Keep on using the Feather DE blades and you won’t have any issues

That looks like a pretty high quality production line / process. I see Croma blades are made in Germany too, which tallies with what we are seeing in the video.

I've never tried Croma blades - anybody tried them?

That chrome coating sounds interesting... I'm not convinced that a lot of the blades I've been using have been so meticulous about their tempering / coating / sampling / QC processes... would be interesting to see what, if any, difference it all makes.
