Thread: Regrinding Blues

Shape stayed the same mostly, it went from 8/8 to 15/16ths....I tried to sharpen the razor when I cleaned it up with many layers of tape, so many that it actually did not feel like honing at all, felt like something different.

its like a face lift on a 100 year old pin up model, it will just never look the same & not really required JMHO

that baby would have been neetsfoot soaked, lightly poished & honed as is for me,
must admit but my 8/8 W&B has nearly no hone wear luckily so never been in that position to choose & definately don't have the skills yet to do it either.

either way, how much blade if any did you lose with the regrind is it still 8/8, as it looks narrower than the original in the heel & toe area or was reshaped also slightly?
