Nope.

If I'm going to dremel a blade, I don't bother with any foreplay, I just start in and let the sparks fly!

Tip and scale tail nip-tuck.


Shortened the blade (now 2 1/4" cutting edge), but that made the scales look waaay too long for the blade. And the scales are cool 3-pin Bartmann originals. So, I shortened the scales in-situ, and went pinless there too. I usually like the blade to wedge to be a bit tighetr than this turned out, but what can you do sometimes.

There was a fair bit of pitting under that gold wash seen in post #1, and I due to my original tradgedy I did not go after it that agressively!. Semi-shine-satin finish. Still needs a honing and a test drive to see what this wafer-thin blade can do!

Looks like a good save there, Nice looking rebuild

Fuk!! That sucks. They're so pretty, it's just heartbreaking...Nice save though!!

I chipped one last year and stayed up late that night on a mission to bring it back.

Great save on a great razor - you will be glad you did!

You're taking it better than I would've.
