    Default Is this Wosty a goner?

    I was so happy today. I got a great deal on a Wosty IXL and a Frederick Reynolds razor at my local antique store. Both razors seemed to be in REALLY good shape so I started polishing with a microfiber towel and mag polish. I tried putting a bevel on them tonight and I noticed a line in the blade...yup...it's a crack! CRAP! I am not certain if I did this trying to set the bevel, or if I was too exuberant polishing the blade, or if it were there all along.....

    Is this guy now just a shadow box piece or can it be saved ? Your thoughts?

    Depending on where the crack is you might be able to cut it off at the crack and make a shortie.

    Of course it would pretty much be right in the center!

    I was afraid of that. Glad it was the one I was least crazy about although I was nice!
