Thread: Ruined my first razor.

I could not grind off the high spot on the heel of the spine it was riding the tang and scraping on the stones edge. I needed a dremel and a lower grit stone. I got frustrated tired and sloppy from the 1000 girt being so laborious and messed it up. Took too much metal off the toe trying to switch up my approach. I failed by deviating from what I knew needed to be done, having the right tools and patience was essential and I failed on that also. 5 hours of honing later got a few tiny insignificant cuts and feel like I learned some valuable lessons that will make my next projects more successful. I am now in the market for a dremel, 220 grit and 400 grit stone XD Its going to be a long road ahead but man does time fly when your honing. Going to start trying to fix gold dollars instead of ruining vintage razors that were abused and too complex for my skill level to fix. Now the next order of business is to somehow get more money to buy all of this stuff!

Thanks to everybody who gave me advice you were right and gave me the winning plan to fix it but ultimately I lacked the tools and patience to execute it.

Look forward to getting chewed up about ruining the razor jkjkk =]
EDIT* Big thanks to Shaun for being so generous with his advice and guidance! Thank you Shaun!
