Thread: repair possible? chips and cracks?

ebay special, it came with another W&B and a torrey. those both have light rust nothing major...this one has some major chips and from what I can see three cracks in the blade. Close to 1/4 inch from the edge. might be hard to see on the pics, but should give a nice idea. If needed I can get better pics after I finish at the bakery.

Given how high the crack runs compared to the width of the razor, I wouldn't bother trying. There is always the chance the crack will get worse as you try to hone it out.

I think the best you can do with this razor is to save the scales, from th epic they look in good shape, and use them on another blade that needs scales.

Ouch, that poor, poor thing. I've had to toss blades that didn't look nearly that bad. Save the scales. forget the rest. Just not worth it.

Looks like someone used it to open a paint can or something.

Ouch! You will have another ebay special, at most, if you try and restore that. Ground down that far, you are looking at a very dainty razor.

It could work in theory, if you are really wanting to make them shave. Can it happen, yes. Will it be pretty, or even close to nice looking... no. It would be cheaper, faster, prettier, and longer lasting to just buy better blades.

Like mainaman stated, save the scales. Find another ebay deal on a razor(s) that have broken scales and restore.

thanks guys. I figured it was shot, but better to check than to just toss it.
I got a few auctions on ebay, 12 razors for just under 90 bucks total. 8 that can be fixed up, and 3 that I can use scales from. plus one Pakistani razor that I love. (No Sarcasm) I used it to practice pinning before I put my first restore back together....so it isn't totally worthless.
