Thanked: 5fixing a bent edge
okay so i have a razor thats been dropped on the heel edge and bent over. Didn't crack or chip the blade. It's quite significant and affects honing considerably. I don't want to grind it off as it would ruin the look of the razor (i'm shallow what can i say) Anyone know how to go about trying to fix it? I read something about stropping on a hard, smooth, non-abrasive surface (maybe a piece of glass?) to slowly bend the edge back to normal. Has anyone ever tried lightly pounding a folded edge straight? Would heating it (after all, hot steel is more mallable) make it straighten easier or would i just increase the chances of cracking/breaking it off? Thanks for any advice you guys can offer. I'm at a loss for ideas
