    On a side note... I saw that in Buddel's last post he was going to retemper, regrind and update. There is no update yet, but there is a gallery collection of a damascus razor on his website that looks like a potential suspect. I have PM'd him to find out how that went.
    First, I donīt know the Jacobīs razor - but - they look like that they come from the same source, than the other pakistan razors (imo).

    Here is the one, with I played arround:





    The back of the blade is to tin for a 7/8, the scales are much to heavy and the grind is unfinished. So it was possible to re-harden and temper the blade.

    Here is the blade after the regrind:



    The filework on the back was also to sharp, so it "grinded" the strop. I rounded them to fix this.

    Here is the finished razor with simple ebony scales (i dont puted too much skill and time in this project ):



    After that the steel was hard and honeable. Itīs possible to shave with the razor. In my opinion the quality of the steel is ok, but not very good or outstanding. After the process you will get a average razor with a good optic. But the qualitiy of a real custom damascus razor is much more higher. Without optical aspect this razor is for me in a price range from about 50,- Euro. Without a new heattreating it is grap.

    Great to see you could make something that will shave out of what was previously only a poorly finished piece of eye candy. It would be interesting to see if the Pakistani razor manufactures could put the energy into making a working blade that they put into an overly complicated scale design and fancy Damascus steel. It seems that shaving ability is forgotten in the quest to make a something that will sell.
