Thread: What should I do with this razor?

Do you have a link to the PCR thread. The search won't let me look for PCR because it is too short.

I have started chopping the toe off with a diamond file. This is going to take a while. If I go at it a little bit every day I think I should be able to get through it in about two weeks. It looks like it won't be too short.
It will be a stubby razor, so I will be able to scare my in-laws by telling them its a razor for young teenage boys.

Just an update on how it's going. I have just finished chopping off the toe. Now I am going to think about reshaping the end into a barbers notch like it used to have. But that might have to wait until my fingers heal. Its hard work doing this with just a diamond file and no vice.

You are a patient and persistent man. Nothing like taking a lemon and making lemonade. Nice save.

Patient, persistent and damded stuborn. Just ask my wife.

You did that without a vice? Ouch. Blisters, or just very sore?

Nice job on it, I look forward to seeing how it ends up!

No blisters, just a bit sore. But this did take me about three days to get through. It has made stropping a bit hard though. Now I'm trying to reshape what is now the toe. I have wrapped some material around the blade and clamped it in a D clamp. This gives me something to rest against the edge of my desk. I'll post some pictures tomorrow to show my progress so far.
