Chip removal

ok guys, I picked this razor up today from an antique shop. The blade is badly chipped in a few places. Any pointers on how to remove these chips? Is it a lost cause, and did I just wasted $20?
Normally I would just pass up a razor in this condition, but for some reason this one just spoke to me. It’s a 7/8” blade, with a very thick heavy wedge blade. The scales, are ok, no chips or cracks.
Any help would be appreciated.

I just posted a new vid on it here with pics of the chips

Slow and steady

 

You could use a DMT, like @gssixgun , and do an angle grind, which can save some time in setting a bevel.
Or, like I've done, many times, since i dont own a dmt, I use the lowest grit stone I own. I use a bread knife stroke, rocking it, like @gssixgun . I use the side of the stone, until the chips disappear. I then use the low grit stone to set a "pre-bevel". Then i change tape and properly set the bevel, with a 1k stone.

 

The razor you bought is obviously very damaged.

I have several straight razors that @gssixgun has fixed. I have full confidence that Glen can fix your razor too.

 

Thanks. That video was very helpful.

 

Thank you, as well. You guys are so helpful, that’s what makes this place so great.

 

Thanks. Yeah, I’m not sure if I’m up to this challenge. I’ll definitely have to give it some thought. If I decide not to do it myself, I might have to contact @gssixgun do the work for me.

 

I shave myself, but I do not cut my own hair.

 

It really is an easy repair. The hard part is setting the new bevel, and thats just a little time consuming.

 

The heavy grinds take time but are fairly easy to restore.
