Thread: Brummel-Werk_New York

Since it appears that you ride via your avitar, I'll cut you some slack...no pun intended!!

You mention blade damage, could you be more specific? Nicks & cracks in a blade are typically considered damage. Hone wear is just hone wear, though not desired, typical of well used razors...kind of like mileage on a auto, it's going to happen over time. How much hone wear is too much? That's one of those opinion things & we all have our set limits/opinions. I've kept mine around so that I may regrind it one of these days, but it's "just a razor" & not a heirloom.

If you go back to the first post you can look at the first pic to see the artisan's "damage" after he/she/whoever tried sharpening it.

I assure you that before sending it in to have it ruined I examined my blade carefully. It was NOT damaged. Now, it IS! Look closely at the edge and you can see the "wave" that wasn't there before they touched it. I know, I tried honing it first. I couldn't get it there so I figured "Mr GreenJeans" may as well have someone else that knows what they're doing have at it the first time. Was I stupid!! It was who ever does them at CS that ruined it. If you want "details" we should do it PM.

And thanks for "cuttin me slack" BC I am a "biker".

Shooter,
I just noticed your tag being Christian, 2nd ammendment. Amen brother. I was in the USMC to help get through school in the States, now I am a vicar.

Thanks! You forgot to add straight razor shaver, fixer upper, and just a dang nice guy...
