Thread: Nice W&B, Buut...

It's a fair enough point, but if you want the top money you need to invest money or invest on time and equipment to get that result. Sheffields that are wedges are just really visually intolerant of imperfections, especially if the razor is brought to a certain polish before they were deleted. I'd like to think sweden has many Berg, Dahlgren, Heljestrand, and SSA razors that need help? Kind of like how I'd like to think there is a filarmonica 14 for every man and boy in spain.

As this blade, did look really bad before i restored it. Everyone is not a professional restorer, most people that do the restorations are acutally doing it for fun, or just for a hobby.

Don't take the negative comments too hard, it looks like you don't though.

For example the sharp lines on the tang are something worth noting. I don't know if you ended up with them intentionally or as a side effect of that being in good condition but I've seen 'professional restorers' blur right over them.
There are people who were recommended above who will never touch a razor of mine because I've seen the shoddy work they put out even though they may be touting themselves as experts above others.

At the end of the day it's your razor and you can do anything you want with it. If you want to restore it yourself it's perfectly in your right to do so. And it's perfectly within your right to value it any way you want. If it's worth to you $10000 you don't have to part with it for less.

One thing is for sure that you can improve if you have the desire for it. The people who do exceptional work may have slightly better equipment than you, but it's the skills that make their work better and many of them are here sharing their experience and helping others.

To be honest i think if i had more time to spend on restorating i would do alot better. ! But i have a family and small shildren,sow somtimes i end up restorating or doing somthing with razors with two boys hanging on my neck 😁
But i do this for fun rahter than squeeze evry penny out of it.
But i i am thinking to send it to a proffesional restorator ! But i dont have any particulary in mind ! I also have some other razors that
need help, but i thougt i restore them my self and list them for fun and see what people say, haha.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts and i know that alot of people think and consider them self as proffesional, but i have the luxery to say its for hobby and i dont realy care that much what other think, at least not to get angry or insulted for what people say ! But i do appreciate it when they want to help and advise. Cause its only piece of iron in the end ! But
nice stuff !
I have Alot of old razors i need to ID . I am new in this place , but i only registrated my self cause i saw how much people commented the W&B haha.
