Darn! Dropped my SR in the sink and now there's a small chip out of the corner...

...of the blade, opposite the hinge. It's right at about the 45 degree mark on the corner. I only paid $50-$75 for this on Ebay a few years ago so having it repaired could easily cost more than the razor is worth. Would it work to reshape the corner on my regular grinder in my shop? I know I'd have to be careful not to over heat it. Any advice? It was a great shaving SR. Kind of hate to give it up. But it's not like it's the only SR I have. I have four others, all of which are much more expensive. I just thought I'd try and save the chipped one if possible.

I think a PIC will be required for any real advice ;)

I kinda' thought that might be the case. I'll see what I can do after I get home from work.

Trying to get my pics here. Adobe plugin keeps crashing. Gotta' love Adobe...crap! Can't seem to get my images here. I emailed them from my phone to my computer (they're in my Inbox), downloaded them to Windows Photo Gallery. They don't show up anywhere in Windows Photo Gallery or on my browser but they're still in my Inbox. Frustrating. Especially for a computer idiot like me. Oh well...

DO NOT USE A GRINDER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A dremel is your best choice. SLOW, STEADY and keep it COOL!
I swear there is a tutorial here on doing this.
Check the Search box...

Good Luck :tu

Thank you so much for your advice.

Tom,

Depends on what you call a chip. :shrug: That pic will help.

If it's not too large I'd take it out by hand on a diamond plate or a low grit stone. Much less room for error. A power tool has no mercy if it grabs an edge. :gaah:

...or sand paper or a course stone. I have reshaped plenty of razors using a grinder as well as a Dremel but it requires a steady hand and nerves of steel, it's a good thing I'm an heavy drinker:beer2:

Tried the pic again. I have it in Windows Picture Gallery but can't get it to the forum. I click the "Insert Image" icon, click the "Browse" button, and I can't find the pics??? Suggestions?


Tom

Try the basic uploader button on bottom right. click on computer at top, not url. Then click browse. See if that works.
