Got to admit this is the first time I have heard of using a belt sander to sharpen knives much less a straight razor.

This is a professional restoration job, no longer a simple honing job.
Contact someone who can do it from the classifieds. I hope the razor can be rescued for future use.

PS. My BS detector went off pretty big while reading the op. I'm HOPING this didn't really happen. Pics?

I once got a brand new Dovo in for honing... well it was brand new before the owner took it to some knife sharpening business in Stockholm.
They had made o good job destroying it on what I suspect is a belt sander.
They even had the guts to brag about how thin they got the edge, it was like tin foil, no stability left at all.
In the end they paid him for a new razor but still said that they have sharpened razors before and no one ever complained!
This might be the pic we end up getting...

I am in no way even close to beginning to hone a razor - but I wouldnt use a belt sander to get the job done!
