Thread: Regrind on dmt

Hello guys, I recently bought a wade and butcher celebrated and I've been told that it needs to be regrinded. But a. How do I Regrind the shoulder and b. should I Regrind it have had people tell me now to Regrind it so I don't know what to do

Hey there,

Do you have a pic of this razor, what was the reason for it needing to be reground?

Hey,

Just replied in the other thread. I don't see why you would grind it. Just hone it as you would for any smiling wedge I believe gssixgun has a very good video on youtube to show you how to do this is you are unfamiliar. Is there something I am missing?

I think it's possible to shave from this without a problem, however, it looks better when the blade edge matches the spine. the toe on the razor in the pics is a little smaller than the heel, where the shoulder is. I 'THINK' it would be easier to shave with if the shoulder was ground down a little. I put the caps and the quotes on think because I am not a pro. Just my impression. Again, this is my impression, not fact, but I would rather let a pro do that.

To the OP, I think anyone with the…guts, for lack of a better word, would be fine just using the DMT. It may not turn out. It may be a failure, but if you want to try this yourself and are not emotionally attached to that blade, it would be great to try. I personally get too attached to the W&B and George Wolstenholm and similar razors. I'm not sure why, but I have this thing that I feel I'm possibly damaging something that is very important. Not sure why…

I actually rather like the way it looks lol. I shave with a razor not dissimilar to that all the time. It is a personal choice but IMO I would leave it be I am sure one of the more experienced members will chime in too, but that would be my advice to any of my customers.
I know that feeling of damaging something very important, these razors are our history, and I think that is a part of why we love them so.

I think this is very good advice. If it bothers you, then worry about it. If you don't mind the look, hone it up or have it honed and have fun! What most of us may say is just feelings and or opinions. Make sure you agree before you do anything. If you like it as is then let it be and ignore some of the comments on looks and feelings.

It is a piece of history so I'll just hone it and see how it goes

Relieving the stabiliser is not a regrind. If you don't feel confident doing it , don't but here's a link to explain it a little more:
