    Question Regrinding Services?

    I have recently acquired an old wedge-blade which I believe needs to be reground. (The spine and cutting edge combine to cover nearly 25% of the sides of the blade.) While the only thing particularly special about the razor would be its age (circa 1770?), I have actually grown quite fond of it, and would love to facilitate its continued active service. Does anyone know who does this in the US?

    Thanks!

    I would recommend contacting Joe Chandler via agentjac0069@yahoo.com.

    He has a grinder and knows how to use it.

    For 16$ it's a nice deal...

    What?! Op! Why I..........

    WHY are you regrinding a razor of that age?

    If you can get a shave edge on it, as is, my philosophy is, go with it!

    BUT, I guess it IS your razor.... The above posts lead you to the right sources...

    (Sigh)

    Lightbulb Follow-up

    While Ross Cutlery's web-site states the cost is $16, upon calling them, I was informed that the cost is $22. That still doesn't seem terrible.

    As for why I wish to have the razor reground:
    I am not able to get a shaving edge on this piece at present, and upon investivation under magnification, it appears that some genious along the way decided to sharpen it at a different angle. It appears that I would have to hone most of the tiny remaining concave away in order to get to the point of a being a practicle shaving edge.
    Believe me, if I did not believe it was necessary in order to use the razor, I would not be looking to have it reground.
