What's new

Flea market straight razor

Guys, I found this razor for 7$ and i took it without thinking cause I think its a good price. What do you think how bad is the damage, cause i can see that there is uneven wear from toe to heel, it looks like a 1mm or maybe more of a difference. What are your suggestions, can it be fixed? Also you can see uneven wear on the back.

That razor's got some wear on it for sure but you can probably get some more life from it. I'd probably put a piece of tape on the spine and set the bevel. If your stone's flat you should be able to get the edge back even but it'll take a little time.
 
Yes, bit of uneven hone wear and that is reflected in the uneven edge. Looks like a double frown you'll have to be honing out. You are likely going to be honing into the stabilizer to even the edge out so there will be some work reshaping the heel/stabilizer area too. Should all work out in the end though.
