Here is a beat up ( I mean beat up, worn out, hone-trashed, headed for the trash can) W&B.
Since it was in such rough shape I thought, "what the heck, lets do a regrind" :shrug:
So here is the before (this picture doesn't do the razor justice-- that is, it doesn't really show how terrible it was)

Very nice. Its allways fun to find a trashed razor to experiment with new things on
Nice way to save one frome the bin!
Good steel doesn't belong in the trash :) Well done.
wish i'd thought to regrind a beat razor before trying to set the grind on that blank i forged...
lookin good man!
On the regrind, did you work the hollow more & set back the spine, or just work on the hollow?
My main objective was to set back the spine, but I also took out the shoulder, (that's just my style ya know :) )Quote:

I actually only hit the hollow enough to be even, and to take the pitting down to good steel
I ask because I've got a couple butterknifed razors that I've considered that on...
