I have a razor that came with some fairly deep pitting on about an inch of length at the toe. The rest of the blade is absolutely clear of bad spots: no pits, no devils spit, no stains. It’s a good shaver and I’ve used it for several years since the pitting was close to, but not into the edge.

After my most recent honing session, I noticed what I thought were chips near the toe. I honed them out, but under magnification I could see they weren’t actually chips, but places where the pitting had reached into the edge.

The rest of the blade looks great so I figured I would try to turn it into a shorty. I think I read somewhere on SRP about using a Dremel with a cut-off wheel to do this and have used the SRP search function to try to find some advice on how to do this safely without much luck.

It would be very helpful if someone could point me at a thread that discusses how to do this.
