Is it worth it?

That is the question which I've been pondering. I mean it could be worth it for a DD CR, could it not. We'd have to invent a new acronym for smooth.

Meet Tiny Tim, the latest addition to the coochie razor collection. I got tired of trying to sand the nicks out of that Union Wedge, so I cut it down instead, using a variable-speed drill with a Dremel cutoff disc & plenty of water. It took forever. The steel was unbelievably hard. Eventually I'm going to make some new scales for it. I photographed it next to my W&B for size comparison.
