Little ugly, handles well.
I had an eBay 'couple dollars' blade with a big nick out of it's heel and a couple hours spare time. I wanted to try making a shoulderless blade... but just as I'd achieved a (relatively) clean re-shape with the Dremel cutting wheel, I dropped the dang thing on the garage floor concrete and dinked a huge chip off the toe!
So I lopped off and reshaped the entire end of the blade as well. And tried making really rough jimps. I may have gotten a little carried away making the jimps... handles really securely now though!
The end product is tiny, kind of haggled looking, but strangely endearing. Honed up really easily though! No need to do X passes even on my little natural combo stone.

Thanked: 3795Ha! Great effort at making lemonade after your lemon! If you tire of it you can always sell it as a Project Coochie Razor.

I think that looks pretty good! I wouldn't call it ugly at all.

Man, that's a good save... may I add, that razor is a great source of inspiration because I will to try that with another razor I was about to throw out.
Thanks for sharing.
