Thread: Possible to repair?

As you can see I have chipped the tip of my straight razor. Butter fingers when as I was switching hands... so i have two questions. Firstly can this be repaired, and if so, where? Located in Brisbane, Aust. Bought it a year ago and haven't had to do any maintenance until now so I don't have a clue what to do or where to go. Any advice would be great.

Cheers guys!

Check 'Razor Service In Oz by Oz' under Member Services in the Classifieds here on SRP, he is located there in Australia.

You could make it a muted rounded corner on a piece of wet & dry with minimal effort just check through the repair threads, if not keen yourself Oz would be able to help in Sydney, there are a few lads in the Brissy area that may be able to help you out also, just wait they will chime in I am sure.

Yes it can be fixed, the tip may be slightly rounded to avoid removing a lot of material from the entire blade just to remove it.

The mark on the blade is interesting.

You've got a couple chips there and as others have said yes it can be fixed. Since you're in Brisbane reach out to someone local here on SRP for some help.

Ill vouch for that, fresh out of barber college 15 yrs ago I lathered around a customers neck and ears and then rinsed the lather from my hand then let the razor slip and put a nice sized nick on his ear...never held a razor with wet fingers ever again.

Oh and saw a barber catch a razor he dropped once....big no no, severed tendons in 4 fingers...if it falls....LET IT FALL.

Very easy to turn the tip into a deliberate mute but the rust on the edge needs to be addressed. Need to dry & oil your blade unless it lives in air con up there. Steel rusts @ 40% humidity.

Is that a Baxter of California razor ?
