how about using a feather razor? That way you can always guarantee a sharp razor. Even if i have to run it through a cork a couple times to kill the machined edge alittle. Only problem now is....THE WIFE!

Okay so my regrind obviously wasn't the first but I thnk it has good company, I do believe the PCR brotherhood has been born. Now if we can just get a logo
Hope, So what does everyone think for the first attempt? I think it turned out fairly well, There are a few "scars" from the vise but other than that I think it looks pretty good. I was really impressed with how easy the tip was to reshape. I may end up having custom scales inlayed for it as I don't have the inlay equipment to make it look good. Here's to the PCR brotherhood, may we always be aware of the risk that is taken but the reward as well!!!!!

Logo
I'm no artist, but I'm sure someone could concoct an image of an open razor where the scales are one leg and the toe of the blade is the other and both come down into a pair of high heels.

The tang could be ... well, the tang. 
Or for the sake of remaining tasteful, we could throw a skirt on it. Lots of potential here

I would have more input here if I had a willing C to start a PR on.

As for the peer pressure, don't take this as peer pressure, but on an off note if concentration can be maintained, Originally Posted by fknra

then its on with the peer pressure... it is easier to shave someone else than one's self as you can actually see what you are doing from all angles.

Okay, I couldn't resist...
I took a 3/8 Union cutlerey Wedge, and cut both the blade and scales down.
Here are the new measurements:
Total length closed 5 inches
Blade length is 2 inches
Blade width is still 3/8
Tang is 1 1/4 inches to the scales, so there is still plenty of room to hold the razor.
I was worried that the heat from cutting the blade down would make the steel too soft, but by taking it slow, and keeping a bucket of water next to my grinder, It worked out fine.
