I don't even shave anymore and I would be proud to own that Straight Razor. Can't say "They don't make 'em like they used to" with you. Awesome work man.

it’s been a joy to watch this channel grow so much over the past year or so

Being a barber and a forging fan, this was fun to watch! Came out looking great!

Your voice over commentary during the work is excellent, informative and engaging. Keep it up!

I enjoy watching an artist at work creating something out of raw material. Keep forging.

I really appreciate that you explain science behind the design elements. I’ve always wondered how they maintained the edge on the strop. Brings back found memories of the old time barbershop I grew up with.

Love the aesthetic of this razor. The smooth wood finish in the handle meets the roughness of the forged finish, meets the precision of the blade. Beautiful.

I’ve been following the channel for a while now and am always curious about new and different projects. You’re the main trigger that I took up knifemaking and even did a bladesmithing course a week ago. So thanks for the awesome work and inspiration. Keep it up :)

Nice work. Glad to see someone make one while playing attention to that spine thickness to width ratio for sharpening.

This is easily my favorite forging channel if not my favorite all around channel, beautiful work as always! Can’t wait for the next vid

Love watching your art and craftsmanship coming to life in unique and different ways for every project you share!

Awesome. Love the honesty about your work during trail and errors.

I enjoy watching your videos and learning all the different things about the metals and the techniques you use. Great content!!

Dude! That's awesome! Loved seeing that made! The way you for the spacer & the spacer shape were super cool! Loved it!

Love your videos. The way you narrate really brings the process to life, and you do great work.

Getting into delicate work, I like it. So many transferable skills that can be applied to all different builds

I love how you go into detail explaining what you do. Very much enjoy learning from fire creek forge

Looks Beautiful! Always fun seeing someone try something new and learning.

I came across your channel a few weeks ago and it has quickly become one of my favorites. Really enjoy the format. Thank you for creating very informative and interesting videos.

What an awesome project/piece! I really live the fact that you are working outside the normal! Thanks for sharing Elijah!

Love the craftsmanship!! Thank you for showing how its done.

I'm glad that I found this channel. I always enjoy your work, thank you for sharing with us.

Just love you explaining so much … never gets boring and always picking some new stuff up 👍🏻👍🏻

Looks amazing! I do a little blacksmithing myself and have had a lot of interest in forging a straight razor. I learned a few things from this video. Thanks!

Dang I swear this channel had like 14k when I got here a few months ago, it’s well deserved cheers fire creek! Here’s hoping for 100k

This build kept me so interested I had to watch it twice. Learned so many things in such a short bang-bell time!

Beautiful blade! Great to see this channel growing.

Love your videos! Makes my day every time I see that you’ve posted a new one.

I've been watching this channel for some time now. I've realy injoyed watch you build your skills. This channel should grow. Well done my friend.

Hope you forge more of these in the future. I'd love to get my hands on one. You should try a three pin scale setup. That way, the edge is not resting against phenolic. Awesome job!

This is legitimately impressive for a first time build, I couldn't tell you the number of times I've been watching "restoration videos" and they get to making the scales of a restored straight razor and they make something that looks awful and isn't ergonomic. Your scales look like factory produced ones made by a high end company. I've never seen a straight with such a thick spine/tang, but I'm fairly positive all of the production razors today are cut out of flat stock, heat treated, and ground out with no forging. Your shaving technique isn't terrible, but you need to pull downward/upward on your skin with your fingertips to pull the skin taut to get a really close shave, and avoid nicks and weepers. When I'm evening my sideburns I generally pull downwards at the corner of my jaw.

Great job on the razor, I love your videos and craftsmanship!!

Excellent work. The razor is a beauty.

Super cool blade!!! All of your projects are so fun to watch.

Dude i love your channel and am proud to have watched you grow. As well as learn as i build my shop. Proud to be a Texan i am.

This was one of my favorite projects. A nice change of pace!

Nice Razor I have been watching your videos for a while I lived in Idaho from middle school through High School then went into the Army so it's nice seeing a fellow Idahoian find success not only with a business but a youtube channel as well!

nice, I like how you put together the guard and the forged finish on the tang looks good, great job!

you make it look so easy and I love your videos. haven't dared to go ahead and make a straight razor myself but want to try 😁 keep going and make them cool videos best regards Johnny from Denmark

Been enjoying your vids and the growth of your channel and skills. Rock on!

Your channel has been a pleasure to watch and relax too amazing work and can wait to see more projects from you

This was an awesome video. Have been considering getting into using straight razors and you really broke the fears with that shave test.

It was really fascinating seeing the razor take shape. It is often taken for granted that straight razors are easy to manufacture, but you have shown that good razor takes a lot more effort and skill. Great work! It was a joy to watch.

Beautiful! I love your commentary. I always learn something new.

Fun stuff. Love watching you try new stuff in your shop like I do in my woodworking shop. Take care.

Well done, it looks great. It's nice to see the channel doing so well.well done.

Awesome job you did on that, thank you so much for showing all these processes, very interesting. Congrats on breaking ninety thousand, 100K is on the way! Have fun, be safe, enjoy the holiday season.

Love following your builds. Another great one. Thanks

Always a pleasure seeing your handy work. Congrats on 100k in advance.

Love your videos. You're a great blacksmith. Always am happy to see a new upload from you.

The time and patience is second to none The work ethic is truly inspiring Well done

Great job man. I really enjoy watching your videos. This is a project that I’ve been wanting to do for quite some time now but haven’t made the time to attempt it. You’ve inspired me to go ahead and give it a try, so thank you.

Excellent build and video as always, Elijah!

Very nice build, I always like seeing what you come up with.

Great looking razor! And congrats on almost getting to the 100,000 subs milestone! Been a subscriber since almost the beginning and always look forward to your videos when they come out.

I really enjoy watching your bladesmithing videos. And nice work on the straight razor!

This was such a cool build. Seeing the way you "etched" the makers mark was fascinating. One day I'll have my own shop so I can stop living vicariously though my favorite craftsmen. Looking forward to the next video's.

What an awesome fun little build!!

Cool project. Fun to watch you go through the creative process.

This was an awesome tutorial! Great skill and beautiful end product! I have major tool and anvil envy. I’m so impressed by the finished product! Great work and craftsmanship!

Very nice work… Pretty sure I have been watching your channel since the beginning. I am confident based on what I have seen you do to this point that you will master the straight razor!!! Love your work and cannot wait to see what you do next!!!

Awesome build man. In general I love your channel. Super entertaining and informative thank you

I just discovered this channel a few days ago and I'm really enjoying watching the creation process. Fantastic job !

Good to see you were willing to use yourself as a shave tester!

This would be an awesome addition to my small collection of old straight razors! Kudos sir

You are 💯 correct about the spine and edge correlation for sharpening. Love the blade.

That turned out really well! Always love a nice forged finish.

And when I first subscribed to your channel I think you were at about 15k and still a long way from moving to Texas. Well now, THAT didn't take long! It's been great watching your content and seeing the channel grow! Be safe, stay healthy and God bless you and your family. MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Awesome razor! I’ve been using a straight razor for the last few years and I love it! Your razor came out great!

your channel has inspired me so much as a knife maker, thanks for all the great content 👍

LOVE IT ESPECIALLY THE FACT THAT YOU LEFT THE FORGE MARKINGS GREAT BLADE ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL DESIGN GREAT CRAFTSMANSHIP THANK YOU FOR SHARING IT

Awesome! I love all forge videos, its kind of relaxing

Looks great. I've always been enamored of straight razors. My grandpa used one and I thought it was so cool.

Great job! That is a beautiful looking razor. Always a pleasure to watch your videos, and congrats in advance on a well earned 100K subs!

Gorgeous work. Love watching your videos!

That is such a cool razor. your blacksmithing is amazing

Another awesome blade I would be proud to own. Beautiful craftsmanship!

Great video. Always cool to see things come together.

Love the razor build and your channel.

Really georgeous build!

i hope you reach the goal soon!! such an inspiration i really want to start forging in the next few years, still need to get out of apartment living and create a spot to build my own forge! i will get there one day!

Fantastic work Elijah. Anyone would be thrilled to own such a beautiful razor.

Nicely done. Razors are a unique challenge and it's not until you start making them that you have to figure out ways to solve their inherent problems. Props :)

Enjoy the contents of your videos . Missed seeing cameos of your littles today. God bless and have a great day.

Have been really impressed with your work, nice one!

Very cool razor. Neat to see how one is made. Good job. Awesome video.

I do some smithing, and believe from observing your build, that it has a very big learning curve. Good work!

After many years making hunting and culinary knives, I found razor making to be much more challenging. Nice content, well done, thank you for sharing!

Doing a great job with the smithing. Love watching.

For your first completed razor, I believe it came out great and works well also. Keep up the great content.

Great job Sir. Looking phenomenal as always.

Very nice I’ve only done one of those only one maybe I’ll try another you always inspire me to try new things or retry things thanks for sharing. Great video as always.

I like the high end rustic look. High quality work

When your work life and your entertainment life share the same day, you are indeed blessed. Love your creative spirit.

Nice little build, really enjoyed watching it 🙂

Love your channel. Early congrats on 100k!

Beautiful work. The shaving community would love more of these

Awsome! Another great project finished.

Fantastic work, looks pretty enough to be a decoration.

Loving your videos mate. Certainly looking forward to have a crack at making a razor myself one of these days. Keep up the good work.
