    Imagine how I felt. That's why I didn't even consider doing it myself. I had seen a Dubl Duck with a broken toe that Glen had salvaged and that was more or less the same grind needed here so I had every confidence in him. Lo and behold, he did a beautiful job as expected. (Woo hoo again!)

    I have great faith in fools - self confidence my friends call it.

    I sure was.. Big difference messing with a cracked or damaged blade that you are "Fixing" into something usable, and perfectly good razor that can become junk steel with just a slip of the hand, it is definitely "Queasy work"

    Mine came in today. The spine is sharper than a lot of factory edges. I got #44, which isn't a cool spy number. It is a palindrome, and according to Wiki it's also a "happy number," but the only Agent 44 seems to be the guy from Get Smart who popped out of trash cans.

    The factory edge seems decent, so I'll give it a whirl tomorrow and see if adjustment is needed.
