So, sorry if this is an old topic. Today, like most days, I was cruising the bay and I am just always struck by old sheffield steel that is no longer any good - like WAY beyond restoring, you know, wall of shame stuff.

Has anyone ever melted that steel down and re-made razors using it? If this just too much work and not worth it? I have ZERO metallurgical experience and even less capacity - just curious! Even if it wasn't for a new razor. For instance, I think I would buy a cool ring melted down and made from some sweet old sheffield steel, especially if it was stamped you know? Am I crazy!?!?!
