Straight to a western style Kamisori

Hi All,

I may be completely insane here but I've had an idea to convert a beat up old straight razor with damaged scales in to a Kamisori with a western style grind obviously. Has anyone had a similar idea and given it a go. I have been able to find numerous posts and videos online of people converting Feather artist club Kamisoris to folding straights, but none that I could find of someone taking the blade from a straight razor and mounting it to a handle to create a kamisori.

I like the idea and use of Kamisoris and have a few Kamisori like shavettes and like the feel of a kamisori style shave so was wodering what your thoughts were.
 
Heres my first GoldDollar mod. Maybe you get some ideas from there.

 
Thanks for the replies gents. Definitely provided me with both some validation that I am not in fact insane, and secondly some inspiration and ideas of how to proceed.
 
It might be a fun idea to pick a beaten up kamisori and bring it back to life instead so you can experiment with the single adge asymmetry
