Thread: Lord what have I done

Oh, I see. Thanks a lot for the comment Ron. I would sure like to have the smiley razor near the bottom right. I think that one alone would be a great project (I am not saying that others would not be good). For an unknown reason, I love the shape of these razors.

Al raz.

The Pipe razor looks real nice. The frameback would be good for slicing up a grapefruit.

but I think you did fine with that.

I would concur with the masses definitely 6-7 good project razors there. Thats the way to grow some nads and jump in with both feet!!!!!!

Oooh, that pic gives the the opportunity to ask a question without having to take a pic myself and post it. It's a question of terminology:

What are opinions on the terminology that should be used to describe the toe of the blade in the upper right of the first photo in the link? It's an extreme example. To ensure you know which one I'm referring to, it's the razor where the toe is significantly tapered in comparison to the heel. The ugliest condition a razor can suffer from IMO. But...what's the generally accepted term for that condition even if it's found to be much more subtle on a razor?

Alright smartass! Why dont you pull it up for me and make both of us giggle!

ok well i got bored at work and i decided to have a closer look at your winnings...i even rated them for the hell of it :P Green are what i deem good restore candidates, yellows are possible the rest...i'd just use for my sick twisted experiments and make a frankenrazor :-)

ps...the ones i can make out are the two pipe razors (obvious) and i think the one in the right column at the bottom is a Friodur (anyone confirm?)

pps...i am in no way an expert in the restoration of blades take what i say with a grain of salt...maybe a ton of salt

I saw that lot on ebay, but decided not to bid. There is nothign really interesting in it.
But there are a couple of blades that could be restored pretty well, so you got a good deal.

Those other ones you can cut the tangs off of to use as a spacer while making your scales

That third one down on the left... I could be wrong, but...

... is there a small chip out of that blade?

I won a similar lot last year and found that a lot of the blade that I though were beyond repair actually cleaned up well.
I'm not sure that chip in the third on the left is one of those, but I would give a good few of those a try.
