Ok so here is the story so far, working on restoring a French razor 5/8" full hollow i got off the bay.
Not sure of makers name though the word Paris is fairly clear on it.
I managed to get the blade looking nice enough and made some basic blue acrylic scales for it with a smoked perspex wedge.
All appeared OK at this point, I even got a nice shape on the wedge and everything felt nice and tight.
So now I got to honing the razor, a look under the 30X loupe showed a couple of nicks in the edge.
After about 30 mins of honing (on a 400 Naniwa Super Stone) I have the edge close to bevel set but a problem with the nicks keeps occurring - I get them almost out and they seem to appear again.
Another check with the loupe and I see there is what seems to be pitting along the edge at the Toe end, it extends about an inch along the blade
Another hour of trying to remove the pits on a Naniwa 400 hone has not helped remove these pits
The pitting now seems to be in just one area and extends more than 1/8" up the blade about half inch from the toe

This razor now seems beyond normal honing techniques to repair and get an edge on.
I have thought of cutting off the section near the toe of the razor and attempt to make a "Shortie" razor out of it
As this razor cost very little to buy, I have thought it may be worth a try.
I have a Dremel tool with a cut off wheel to use but not sure what is the best means of doing this
Is this worth the effort or is it too risky to do?
All advice and tips are welcome, good or not so good.
