Thread: Wow what a find

I'm going to send it to a pro I just got to find one that doesn't cost a arm and a leg hahahah

The shoulder can be a pain, but there is no reason to grind it away. All you have to do is hone "short" of the shoulder. It's really not that hard to do.

Well that's good all I wanna do is fix it up so u think I shouldn't grind it

+1. Tape the spine and start honing. Begin each honing stroke with the stabilizer just off the hone. IMO no reason for a regrind unless you want to pay someone for a full restoration.

Fixing up a blade has nothing to do with grinding away one of its design points. Shoulders do require more careful honing, but there's nothing
wrong with careful honing.

I might try honing it to see how it goes

Hey there

If that came across my table, I would never grind that shoulder. Just my thoughts.

I'll just hone it and shave with it

The reason I said to not practice on that one is that those big ole choppers are few and far in between when in any sort of descent shape, which yours appears to be. There are plenty of other razors out there that are more common to practice on. Yes, you have to practice to learn how to do it, but why not practice on a $20 razor or twenty before tackling a more priceless one. This razor is literally "worthy" of sending it to someone well versed in true restoration. The heel will need to be addressed and a bit of steel removed to get it "right" and smiling properly...but not too much, which is where all that practice comes in handy. Less is more...

I agree with u 200% but I don't have the money to send it off to a pro which sucks cause that's what this baby needs
