Thread: Friends first Straight - Is it salvageable?

My friend found this under a pile of stuff in his house, presumably once his dads razor.
Its a Bismarck Super by Dovo, black plastic scales w. a 3rd pin, and a plastic box.
The tail edge of the blade is warped and wavy like it was smashed into something.
It seems like it would make a great razor, he just wants to know how much it would take (time and money wise) to fix such damage.

Yes it is! That blade is actually in good conditions other than that dent... If its not cracked it is salvageable! Plenty of guys here will restore for you for a decent price!

I salvaged this razor! Yours will be cake!

Looks like somebody used it as a screwdriver

Just really depends on how damaged the edge is, impossible to tell from the pics

Yeah, it is worse than it looks in the picture.
My phone has to low quality of a camera to capture it properly. I tried about 100 different angles to capture the edge.. but nothing worked.
Saying it was used as a screwdriver is probably the best way to put it, as that is what it looks like.
