Thread: Please help me if you can!!! New razor destined for the bin?!

Maybe Laser Beam Welding could be a possibility, a colleague of mine repared some clock parts that way (he a dental technican) without bigger scars and in such a fast way that the hardening of the razor maybe wont be damaged.

Friend of mine did that,I swere he can weld two hairs together.

And, did it work with a razor?
I dont know but i think it could be possible.

Another one bites the dust! Keep anything spinning going away from sharp edges!(you know that now!) It can be tig welded OR , as suggested, become a non-folder. That is a heavy wedge. I don't think heat would be an issue as welding with tig.
Either way, the tang stamp is lost.

Hope that doesn't sound crazy, just trying to be helpful.

I'm with you,,tap 2 small holes in what's left of the tang, epoxy or pin it into a nice wood handle.

The fact that the tang snapped means its probably very hard . Drilling would be like drilling a file IMHO.

Drilling is not an option. However, laser beam welding would work, and be near invisible. The amount of heat transferring to the blade would be negligible.

As everyone is saying, non folder. The Korn "The Real" razor is made like that. Find some sweet handle material.

What about sending it out to someone that is forging their own razors? Ask them if they can melt it down, reuse the steel and make you a new one?

I vote for the laser weld and repair the hole with a carbide dremel bit. Patience coupled with the right expertise could very well pull this off.
