I'm excited to see the result of this.

No pressure Glenn but I'm expecting magic!

I am subscribing to this thread I want to see how this one is going to turn out. Sorry about your razor Airportcopper, that had to have sucked.

Also subscribing. I love seeing how razors with this type of damage is saved. I have a razor that has a crack near the heel that I have been far to afraid to grind out so far. Maybe one day I won't be such a coward and just go for it.

I usually take these pics so I can get an idea of what would need to be ground away to achieve a look, keep in mind the longer you grind the higher the risk goes, also the more metal that get ground off the spine, the more the razor will show the repair..
Restoration uaually becomes a balancing act, between what you want, and what the razor wants to give up...

Untouched



Square Point



Round point



Obilique point



C-point/ Clip Point




Where the black Magic Marker is, shows the steel that has to be ground off,, the length of the edge right now is 2 5/8 inches it was probably a 3" edge to start maybe 2 7/8"

Round looks good to me !

I'll use a 2x72 and grind on the platen first to get rid of the bad section, then move off the platen to use the belt slack and some Gymnastics to add the curve...

Keep your fingers crossed

I know that Glenn will have that looking new and natural.. either way I think it just became a Dubl Duck Dwarf. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Yea really not losing that much of the metal with going with the round tip.. so it will look almost original.. see what happens there is always risk when grinding especially this type anything to save a great shaver ill b happy with!! It really is an art

I love to see 'magic' I know that Glen will do his best, but as he says there's always the chance of hearing that dreaded 'PINGGGGG'!

I can hardly wait to see what my friend comes up with!

Wow thats a heinous chip my man. Good thing Glen is on the case!
