I suppose I have to remember these scrimshaw mermaids were done by the same sailors that thought manatees were beautiful women with fish tails lol.

Well you know, Ahab had his razors melted down into a harpoon point, so why not the other way around?

Anyone that spends there life at sea would think anything was beautiful, I spent 2 years on an off at sea and at that time Female didn't serve on Sea Duty, the longest time I ever spent out at sea was over 100 Daze and was glad to pull into port but never have I seen any sea creature that I was attracted to but I was a Marine and not a Sailor and some Sailors can be a little bit Lets say strange!!!!

I would recreate the frame using a brass tube. Measure and drill the three holes in the tube first, then cut along the entire frame so it can be slid over the razor. Then use either brass rods with a shim (or microfasteners if you want it to come off quickly) to peen it securely on the razor.

Just use the razor width to find the correct tube radius which would create the proper bevel angle.
