Hi Guys,
This is my first post.
I have been shaving (when time permits) with a straight razor (Dovo) on and off for about a year now. Following a conversation with a friend about this they had a dig around through some old "stuff" and produced an old Ator ERN Razor which they gave to me as a present. Never one to look a gift horse in the mouth, it was only when I got home and examined it, that apart from the obvious dirt and rust, there is a 2 - 3 centimeter (approx 1/8 of an inch) crack in the blade, the box it was presented in has a barbers name and city address on it and also a hand written date 1st of June 1932, so it has potentially, literally been through the wars! The scales are fine and the pins are still fairly tight. I am wondering if this blade might be worth restoring and if so is it viable to hone an eight of an inch or more off a blade?
Thanks,
James.
