Thanks Brando, Yeah the initial shock and sickness has eased a little. Now I am just at myself!

Seriously though, that is a crying shame. I sincerely doubt that you could have it melted and re-cast as advised, if only because razors are forged, not cast. Re-melting to the right temp would probably alter the quality of the steel, too, though I'm not 100% sure about that, not being as clever as Mike Blue!

I think I would just frame it - just like you have it in the pic - and hang it in the workshop as a reminder.

I feel for you.

Neil

I have since found out that it is NOT able to be re-cast. You would have ot know EXACTALLY what the metal was in order to heat treat it properly etc, etc, etc...

It was hitting the scales.
I THINK an X stroke on the hone would have been okay.

I was just reading a thread about loctite? Just kidding, sorry man that sucks.
