    I'd suggest RTV on the blade for damping vibrations rather than epoxy unless you dislike the smell of vinegar.

    Fine looking razor, hope you can save it.

    I just use electricians tape instead of RTV or silicone when reshaping a razor, less mess. +1 on the "Nix the Barbers Notch Notion" it would just not fit that razor. As far as cell rot, I hate to be the bearer of bade tidings but those scales must go.

    Sometimes there is no alternative to grinding it shorter. I ground this one back to two inches and refit the scales to the blade. Still a great shaver.............

    Today the steel is clean, and I am having a hard time waiting and watching. Prepping for the inevivitable. thinking of the most stable methodology to increase sucsuess rate. I dont cut or grind a blade everyday...well never up till now

    Duly noted on the scales. It above my skill set today Going to library and Videos. A few test runs on no name inlay transfers before I get brave.

    Do you have a blade you can do a practice cut on?
    Maybe that would help ease your nerves a bit and offer you some suggestions on what to do and what not to do.

    If you go slow and keep it cool it "shouldn't" be that hard to do...

    Did that on an grinder, But it was a half-wedge. Full- hollow and grinder alot scarier. Dremmel cut off wheel going through thinner metal made more sense. Placing blade in a wood block for backside stabilization. Only thoughts I have open to ideas . Heard about a dremmel grinder wheel. still considering all options

    Any input for success?? with a shop that looks anorexic compared to your. And there is the lack of familiarity with any procedure. I did add electrical tape along the cut line 3 layers thick as was suggested.

    IF you cut with a cut off wheel, watch for heat on the wheel from also cutting the wood. I had one break in half at 10,000 rpm and the part came to rest stuck in my chin.
    Good judgment comes from experience, and experience....well that comes from poor judgment.
