Restoration Blade Safety Jig

[Seraphim]

I have heard of people having issues with this jig magnetizing the blade. Is this a rare occurence, or are the people using the jig incorrectly for this to happen? Also, should it happen, what steps should be taken to demagnetize the blade (besides heating it to demagnetized state )

I don't think you need to worry about your razor being magnetized or not. One of my great shaving razors has a magnetic blade (feels kinds cool when honing it on the DMTEE). I have also had/honed others that have also taken a great edge.

Really? My blade got magnetized and using the D8E drove me NUTS. I got a 15 dollar demagnetizer on the bay though which solved the problem.

If I had been able to suffer through setting the bevel on the D8E though, the rest of the journey would have been smooth sailing. I magnetized a blade that went on my Norton and C12k and there were no suprises during honing. It also kept a nice keen edge during daily use for a month.

Cool, I think just in case I will buy a demagnetizer.

BTW. If you are looking for the "rare-earth-magnets" and dont have any lying around, or dont feel like ordering them on ebay, check out the following link.

All you need is an old busted (or just plain old) hard drive and your set for at least 2 earth magnets.
