first regrind
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"
So here is the before (this picture doesn't do the razor justice-- that is, it doesn't really show how terrible it was)
and here it is after a spin through the grinder
after 1k it's popping hairs
cheers
Dave

Very nice. Its allways fun to find a trashed razor to experiment with new things on

Good steel doesn't belong in the trash
Well done.

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

I actually only hit the hollow enough to be even, and to take the pitting down to good steel
