    Definite bummer indeed Dave.
    I've felt your pain.

    Over the years I've had a couple of razors like that.
    I worked for days on them and got no results.
    That's what ticks me off the most. I expect results from hard work.

    Once in a while you just got to bite the bullet.

    Off to the wind chime box it goes!

    I'm sorry to hear that. Some old blades have intergranular corrosion, unapparent until well into the honing process.
    Seems to me that Glen used to trial month the blade between popsicle sticks with tape to hone long enough to check the consistency of the metal.

    That sounds like a very reasonable explanation.
