Hahaha, well I knew the guy was in Lorraine? France and I knew the description was in French that I couldn't read...but it's listed on ebay.co.UK So we have a Spanish razor that some French guy is selling on UK ebay.

European ebays feature each other's listings at no extra charge.

Here's an Electric razor that I was talking about earlier in this thread. This came out 2.5" rather than 2, but you get the idea.











It took me about 30 minutes with the dremel: I started with 1/4" diameter barrel rough grit, and finish polished with those weird soft grey disks. It could use a bit more finesse, but it's a viable option for cracked blades.

I don't know anything about working with tempered steel. Any idea how hard/easy it is to ruin the temper? Especially towards the edge where it's so thin.

...and it just occurred to me that I am assuming all razors are tempered?

If you get really heavy handed, you can generate some heat pretty fast, BUT...

I use a variable speed dremel, and kept my fingers right by the area I was grinding so I could feel for heat build-up. Light passes and keep the contact area moving, and you will be fine. Piece of cake.

Haha. I'm inspired! I have a dremel and some skillz .

doh. it might be a while though. My current list:
Silver tip badger brush
New soap
New cream
DMT D8C
Shapton 1K, 4K, 8K
Shapton 16K
Throw away ebay razor for practice grind
Dovo Ebony 5/8 spike point for modification.

oh yea, got to fit the kid's Xmas presents in there somewhere....

How old are your kids? chances are if they are young enough although they'll be disappointed now in the future they won't even remember this Christmas. Tell them a smooth cheek to kiss is the present you're giving them.
