Does steel have a correctable memory?
Sure many metals and steels can be forcibly bent into another shape, but really my question of course relates to razors. Specifically, finished razors rather than razors in the process of being fashioned.
Your typical vintage blade. We've all experienced "warped" blades. I was thinking, if a clamp was made using a few small straight edges sandwiching the edge lengthwise and two more straight edges clamped the spine lengthwise and finally.....some straight edges clamped down both the spine and the edge crossway, would this or a similar concept correct the warp and bring the blade into trueness? Orthodontia for razors with problems.
Or...after removing the clamps, would the steel revert back to its pre-clampning shape?
