Just pondering in mean what else can you do while sniffing Buffalo Horn dust

I hear ya man,been sniffing Ivory dust all day myself,but am a firm believer in the silk purse/sows ear saying.
Anything can be fixed,is the end result worth the effort?

I don't think it will be the "new wave" and some (most) razors that is this worn is probably better to just toss away or hone up with a few layers of tape.
But if one find a razor in otherwise good condition, and/or have special feelings for it, it might be a functional permanent solution if it can be done in a way that looks okay.

Another thing to it is that one wouldn't have to remember or write down how many layers of tape was used when it was honed....

I guess one of us should see if it is even a viable option, without doing a huge re-grind..

Before we decide if we should do it I guess we should see if we can do it

Rob you have PM LOL

I think it's a great idea!! It could resolve many blade and geometry issues.........and save lots on tape

I think it's a great idea, I am not sure but wouldn't be a harder metal (than brass) a better option due to hone wear resistance, I was thinking titanium tube even, due to hardness and weight distribution? How are these tubes attached to the spine if may I ask?

I have a faux frameback and the tube stops on a raised part of the spine of the razor, presumably just as a method of locating it, this is useful to me as I often pop it off to clean out any scuzz that gets under it, but maybe the tubing in question would still be fine just slid over.
