Thanked: 25Crack near the toe on old razor...fixable?
I have an old razor from my great uncle, it's just labeled "MAGNETOSTEEL" or "MAGLETOSTEEL". It looks a little wider than a 6/8, round tip, but there is a crack in the edge up the blade around 3/16" tall and 3/16" back from the toe. It is worth it to regrind the toe back to just past the crack? It would be solely as a user. I have access to variable speed belt sanders so I won't overheat the edge.

Like John said, stick around for the resto guys to tell you the correct info, but post a photo if you can. Makes diagnosis a lot more certain.
Here is a thread where you can see what can be done, just for example ;

Thanked: 25May do a rounded toe or straight toe? If it can be done and not hurt the blade, I will prob go ahead and do it. Very Very little hone wear on it at all, everything else looks good.
