Thread: Is there a way to fix a warped edge on a straight razor?

Anyway I'd be interested in any ideas about straightening the edge. Without risk.

The edge of a razor is hardened, high-carbon steel. It will take years to change shape under clamping pressure (if it _ever_ changes).

You'd have to push it just past its "elastic limit", and wait for the micrograins to re-align. It will be a long wait.
