Thread: Wonderedge Blade- What would YOU do?

Hi All,

I acquired this as part of a lot of razors a while back. It's a Pearlduck Wonderedge, no scales. Looks like a big chip was honed out of the heel, it's 13/16" at the toe, 6/8" at the heel. Hone wear is a hefty ~2mm and fairly even. There is light pitting on the blade, but nothing too bad. I haven't honed it or shaved with it. It is just sitting in a drawer and I'm in a purging mood, so I'm trying to make a rational decision about it's fate.

I know this is supposed to be one of the holy grails of razors, but I am just not feeling the love! (probably due to condition and aesthetics). Trying to decide if I should: A.) breadknife it to get rid of the massive heel/toe slope, give it some nice scales, hone it up, and have it as part of the rotation, or B.) Sell it as is to someone who is dying to have one and would REALLY enjoy it and fix it up properly.

I am not interested in spending money to restore it at this point, I have overspent on razors and my collection is 'complete' for the moment. If it was really nice it would be a no brainer (to keep), but as is I don't know...

What would you do if it was yours?





Thanks in advance for your opinions.

Jason
