I have started on my first razor. Im the kind of guy that if i like to start with something hard. I decided to start with a blade that someone told me was junk. I didnt take before pics but I do have them from the ebay auction. Im still waiting for my 220/1000 stone to get here. I wish it would because ive gone as far as i can with the rough stone ive got. I dont have alot of money since the economy went to shit. I do how ever have alot of time and sever slightly broken razors. The coarsest stone i bought is extremely aggressive so i can repair/re grind some of the chipped rust razors ive got. It only took me a coupple hours to get this one to the condition shown. It now a full wedge. One double duck saved! In the before pictures its the bottom razor.
