Wouldnt even think that was the same razor.
Now lets talk about how awesome that grouse is. Thats a real treat. To have that little thing follow you around would be so cool. My old bird dog would have loved your yard.

Nicely done! I'm stunned.
I have a similar problem blade sitting around but haven't gotten the courage to get to it (I can also see multiple bevels like in the before pictures, probably had a bevel set on 1 or 2 layers of tape and again on 3 or 4 layers of tape, I'll never know)
Aside from the cosmetic factor which I'm not gonna correct due to lack of equipment and skills / experience, I'm unsure how to start honing the razor, it was previously probably honed with multiple layers of tape and created multiple bevels.
How do I decide how many layers of tape I'll need? I can measure the bevel angles, but if I went from a 4 layered tape bevel, will it take long to re-create a good bevel with 1 layer of tape?
I'm just wondering if a wide 4 layer of tape bevel is created, when I switch to 1 layer the hone is probably not gonna touch the very edge at first?
Sorry if I went a bit off topic here.
What an amazing result, it gives me good spirit and hope for a razor I thought was a bit too far gone, now I know it's possible
Glen - nicely done!
I thought that maybe you got inspired by Victor's "smiling choppers" and wanted to create a "reverse-smiling" W&B!
Oh wait those exist... I believe you call them frowns or something similar ;)
Great work, thank you for sharing!:chapeau
P.S.
Like your pet, I challange you to teach her some tricks!
Hi Glenn
First regrind I recall you posting. Nicely done. Interesting touch to leave the original patina on the rest of the razor.
Nice grouse too. I have 4 Brittanys and we hunt grouse and woodcock every fall. My dogs would not stand to have that grand bird in the yard.
