    ChopperDave sent me this after I said I would give it a go.

    Will post pics tomorrow.

    I have the whole restore if anyone is interested or I can just post the finished razor.

    Dremel with cut off disc.
    S L O W L Y so as not to heat it up.

    I keep my fingers right there to feel for temperature.
    NEVER got hot enough to feel it.
