    I have sent Joe Chandler about 4 razors for grinding, some of which had excessive wear (junk in my eyes), all came back to me in wonderful like new condition. Joe charges $25 to regrind and this includes honing the blade, I'm pretty sure you'll have a tough time finding anyone who can re-grind a blade better at any cost.

    You can contact Joe via email at agentjac0069@yahoo.com

    Hope I quoted your prices right Joe.

    I got in touch with Joe and I think I'm going to send him this razor. I took a good hard look at it and it really isn't in that bad shape.

    I have a big 'ol 7/8ths full WB wedge and this one is about 5/8ths, I think. The big wedge shaves like a dream, but I thought I'd like to try a narrower wedge to see what that is like (any respect that I may have been building with Josh probably just went down the terlitt).

    Plus I'll get a wedge with a JC honing to use as a benchmark.

    Spacetoast wanted just a regrind, rather than custom scaling or anything, so here's a little before and after. I did take it apart to clean the shank and regrind it flat, but I managed to save the pin caps, so it was put back to near original.

    That's funny because I called him the "Magic man of razor re-prettization" in response to his email to me with the before and after pics.

    For $25 including the honing, I'd recommend every nasty ebay razor on the planet be sent to Joe. They sure turn out purdy!!

    Amen to that! Joe's reground a few blades for me, and they were worn out the wazoo! Came back looking brand spankin' new!

    Thanks Joe!
