Thread: Who is doing regrinds?

I have a couple razors that I need to get some grinding work done on. Both are near wedge and have some pitting and heavy hone wear. I would love to be able to hone then without tape when done but don't want to loose very much width to the blades.

One is in vintage condition with tons of metal to work with. The other is a crappy restore job the needs the heal reshaped(stabalizer/shoulder) and hollowed out a bit.

Who out there can do it and is comfortable taking on something where I don't want to lose very much width?

This guy for one:

I think members Spazola and Randydance have that capability.There may be others.

I have too high a failure rate while grinding razors to be trusted with your razors.

It is like the saying says " If you are not making mistakes you are not trying hard enough" I am definitely trying hard enough.

I have at least one blade that is worthless to me if you want it for practicing Charlie

Philadelph AKA Alex has done some pretty sweet regrinds recently. Joe Chandler has done some regrinds for me in the past (some of my best shavers). I am not sure if he is still doing them. This place has been mentioned on the forum in the past. I have not used them myself. Ross Cutlery

You'll get there soon enough mate. Your recent work has left me very envious of the owner!

I've been trying to get someone to do a couple blades and it seems no one is interested. Aaarrgghhh. Please let me know if you find anyone...........
