Thread: Ouch! (sad pic inside)

I got a razor off ebay a few weeks back.
The first shave I had off it wasn't "that" great. It was okay, but it definitely needed a good honing session. So I spent the past few days giving it just that, careful and methodical honing and it was making the difference.

I have a few patches on my arm where I was testing, and it was definitely approaching the level of sharpness I was expecting.

I gave it a quick strop today, and I was just setting about giving it a polish before I was going to have another go at shaving with it. I was sat on my front step enjoying the weather, giving it a quick once over with a polishing thingy on the dremel. It was coming up beautifully, shining brightly in the sunshine when I slipped...and this happened:



Colour me heartbroken.
I've spent some time caring for this fella, and we'd gotten quite close.
I'm thinking I'll gring out the fracture into a stupid curve as best as possible, but I don't think I have the skill for a full on regrind.

It was/is a 7/8" a re-grind I'm guessing will make it a 5/8" at best.

At this point, I'm in need of advice.
