    Default How To Tell If A Razor Ia A Re-grind

    I have a razor that I suspect might be a re-grind. It is a hollow grind Sheffield that has some scratches that are perpendicular to the edge. I don't really care, as it is a good shaver, but I was curious as to the typical signs of such a blade.

    What are the typical indications that a blade has been reground?

    One might be if it's hollow-ground, with a barber's notch.
    You can have everything, and still not have enough.
    I'd give it all up, for just a little more.

    Usually where the blade and the tang meet looks out of proportion. I've got a W&B regrind for sale on ebay now. If you have a look at the pictures of it, you'll see what I mean. The tang looks to be from a thick wedge but the blade is a hollow grind.

    Here's the best photo I was able to take. The top razor shows a little what I'm talking about, vertical scratches that are 'mostly' buffed out. They both have them, despite what the pic might show.
