Thread: What caused this ripple in the edge ?

An edge like that is warped because the edge is stretched. I don't think it would be possible to straighten. Likely the only way to salvage it would be to hone past the warped steel. From the look of it I would guesstimate close to 20% of the blade. It would have to go veerrryyy cheap and be a project razor.

Such a shame, but he's wanting far too much for it.

It is listed as used, they forgot to mention as a can opener.

I like the

i believe it can be honed out

starting at a 5/8 to a corn razor maybe nothing worth while with scales there either

It would be interesting if someone could do some tests and over heat some crap razor on the buffer and see what it looks like.

That's a tragedy. Friodurs are great razors.

... and the price he is asking is for a NOS Friodur.

Oh well. I'll mourn it's passing.
