What to do with this frameback?
Hi y'all!
I'm a real resto n00b , low on resources wanting try out some razor restoring.
I got this razor online for learning / trying out different hones and dremel polishing tools. I put the razor on a hone just to discover that the frame isn't straight.
I'm up for tips on what to do with it? Is there maybe a way to save it? Put a sh** load of tape and make a sort of wedge wannabe? :P .
Or maybe I should just use it as a piece of practicing metal?
I haven't got that much fancy tools but I have a little vice, a dremel:ish tool with a bunch of accessories ( cut-off wheels, polishing weels and so on).
What do you think?

If I were you, I would gently close that spine piece a tiny bit so that it 'grabs' more securely when in place.
One possible method to do so is to gently 'tap' on the spine piece with something like a plastic or rawhide mallet (so as not to damage the metal). It could also be closed up a bit by securing it in a bench vise (one that is large enough so that the vise jaws contact the entire length of the spine piece) and then screw the vise together just that extra little bit.

I would use the vise trick in the above post to get the spine closed on the blade evenly. Please besure to put some wood or something between the jaws of the vise and your razor.

)
