Little Shop of (Razor) Horrors Thread

[AirColorado]

I thought I recalled a thread that went something along those lines but can't find it. I really wanted to start this with "Lot of 3 razors. Highly collectable. Some pits and minor chipping along the edge but a great addition to any collection". Oh, I guess I did anyway...


So, while I may be the first and only to show off screw-ups, here's a pic of a few blades I wrecked a few years ago as I started restorations. I saved them for various reasons. One is because the DD scales are pretty nice and I'm waiting for that perfect DD for it. The colorful Solingen had it's toe ripped off but it may be tough to see. I keep that one because I just can't stand the idea of tossing that blade. The Hamburg Ring has a home in my shop because it's just so horrible. Oh the horror!!! All 3 are Dremmel "fails" and rarely have I picked up a Dremmel for about 4 years now because of it.

Also, the G10/tortoise scales at the bottom are a current project, not yet a screw-up. The set you can see will house a W&B frame back I think - at least that's what I drilled the holes for. They may wind up as a "before" picture yet...
