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.
