Thread: Are these restorable?

Could I (or anyone on these forums) bring these back to shaving quality?

#2: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...MEBI:IT&ih=025

Also, could I chuck the blade on this (#3) and salvage the scales?

#1 yes... but you would need to regrind the point at the minimum

#2 yes not as difficult as the first, the seller is pretty nice to deal with as well and it is a great brand the no paypal should help to keep the price down

#3 well sure why not, but i would try and keep the affair close to $5 including shipping

this should not be construed as a offer to do the work it is my opinion on whether they can be restored

Nice, I'm glad to hear that. Thank you! As for #3 I plan on only purchasing it if it stays very low. Unluckily, as I write this, I find out someone outbid me on it. Go figure! :P

I say definitely to one and two. Three looks way gone. The first one has a chip at the point but the would easily be smoothed out. Two looks like it would be a honey when finished.

Got a bid on #1 and #2... I let #3 go. Thanks guys! Ken, I've been damn busy, but I think tonight or tomorrow I'll be taking the Alpha for my first shave!
