Also, I forgot about the thread till now, but if you do a search for "family jewels" and if necessary, my username, you should find a thread where people posted photos and stories of their family heirloom razors. You could add yours to it.

Edit: I went ahead and found it for you HERE.

I think I posted it in a thread like that a few years ago.

Figured it out with a little help. Thanks again Roy.

Yea, the DMT is the 8 inch Course 325 grit.

Here is a easier photo to understand of the razor Roy posted, I added the arrows and the radius.

The red arrow is where the edge ends, the green arrow is where the corrected edge would end after correction.

Looks like you put the red circle where the cutting should be. And I see it would make for a better look. So after fixed, right where the edge ends it needs to start rounding down. And this would make the stabilizer smaller but that's ok I guess. Thanks for the help with the pic!
