This should get you started

I would suspect it would need a honing too, maybe send off to one of the guys here, there's quite a few, hopefully some of the guys will chip in with details

Like I said in another thread:
Yeah, that would be a great option, only problem is I live in South Africa, and if that razor hits customs, it would be flagged as a weapon and be destroyed, and if not, the bloody baboons would mistreat it so badly, Glen would recieve it in a million pieces...

Have you spoken to customs about it? it might be worth asking, thats if you don't have a definitive answer already. the uk is also very strict about this kind of stuff but they get in ok. Over here virtually anything over three inches is considered a lethal weapon and technically illegal without a permit.

The reason why I am afraid it would get stuck at customs here in South Africa is, when I ordered chain mailling supplies it got stuck, when I ordered a airbrush makeup thingey for my girlfriend, it got stuck and customs wanted a chemical composition sheet, when I ordered a green laser module then wanted a firearms license from me(beats the hell out of me why)...
So hopefully you can see why I dont want to take that risk with something that I hold dear to me.

No, not tough, but incompetent. They are corrupt, so they try to make money every way possible, and they have no respect for anyone's possessions, thats why I fear to send it abroad. When I recieved my chain mailling supplies, all the packets were ripped open, all the colors and metals were mixed, and a quarter of everything was missing...$150 gone...
