When Enough is Enough...

[Aldwyn]

I have taken my share of chances on ebay. You know... Buy a crappy looking razor, hoping that under the rust is an awesome blade.

I recently did this with a "Maharajah, Sheffield Engl". The thing was covered in dark gray "stuff", but it looked cool so I took my chances.

This afternoon, I felt like a resident in an emergency room: The patient is declared dead, but I keep trying to revive it anyway.

After about 20 mins with 80 grit, and all it was doing was a polish here and a polish there... but not much help on the bevel area... I knew I was in trouble.

After 45 mins with 80 grit, the typical bevel area up and down the edge looked like this:




Dont think this is going to be able to take an edge unless I make this 6/8th a 5/8th.

Towel? Thrown. I give up. I surrender. White flag city.
