J. P. Tarbox · Public domain (US patent)
Razor Blades from a Continuous Steel Strip (Tarbox 1915)
Safety razor blades are made without ever cutting the steel into loose pieces first. A long strip, blade-wide and blade-thick, is punched and notched at every blade length. It then runs through grinding, hardening, tempering, edge grinding, stropping and wrapping, and only at the end is it snapped apart into blades. John Tarbox's machine even set the temper itself, with a selenium cell that watched the colour of the steel.
Source: J. P. Tarbox, US 1,165,037 (1915). The patent gives no temperatures, steel grade or blade sizes. Picture: Tarbox's drawing of the whole line.

Punch and weaken the strip
Punch and weaken the strip
Start from steel rolled into long strip as wide and as thick as the blade. Punch holes along it to suit the razor holder: a Gillette-type holder has three projections. At every blade length, weaken the strip by notching both edges, thinning it across, or punching a hole on the line.

Rub off the oxide
Rub off the oxide

Temper to straw colour
Temper to straw colour
Reheat it in a second, smaller tunnel heater and chill it again. Tarbox held the colour at the temper wanted, for example straw, by letting a selenium cell compare the strip with a coloured standard disk and adjust the heater.
