    That is exactly how he does it. Except he chants the whole time. While not laughing, of course.
    I will probably never do it, even if he divulges how. Although it does make some pitted old wedges look very nice, I do expect that no thinner grinds will stand up to the process.
    Besides, I have no banjo grinder and all this is funny as Hell to me!

    Thanks Darl...you know I appreciate the kind words. But seriously...Tom, you can do this...here is my secret tool (as Darl suggested). Besides the 'Chanting' of course:

    Supermet D D Gardner Grinder Aligning Banjo Used | eBay

    Now I know it is pricey...but with the size of YOUR razor museum I am sure you can get a lot of use out of this tool.
