Thread: Ok I'm a Klutz, so what do I do now?

You ain't the only klutz james. I set my dovo on a shelf, closed of course, and if fell off and landed behind a night stand about half-way open. Apparently it hit the night stand on the way down and put a couple of nicks/chips in the blade, with a big burr on the tip.

I took a Col. Conk stone (about 1200 grit right?) and took the burr off. It would shave arm hair but pulled. Then a barber gave me a carborundum stone and I did 10 very careful passes on it. It doesn't pull when it cuts arm hair now, but under a microscope you can still see the "waves" or "dings" in the blade. And you can still really see the little chip at the toe with just your eye.

My microscope in not as good as the ones I used in college, it's only about a $40 one, but it works.

Gonna have a honemeister take out the chip and dings. I have the $3 razor I can practice on after I send it of to be reconditioned also.
