Thread: Looking for a bigger blade... thoughts on this?

well here is a question.. if i sand dyed horn would that take off the dyed part? i dont know i havent touched scales yet... just cleaned them off... ill have to see when i get it... i will probably try to do a full restore to original then send it to get honed.

It depends on how deep the dye has struck & how much you sand.

Arrived today. Pictures to come shortly. Looks pretty nice should be able to clean up. There is a small chip in the bottom of the scales. Possibly could sand it smooth.

My Top Flight is certainly a Spike, and a wicked one at that. Looking forward to your photos...

Well here it is... pretty good condition... there is a little chip in the scales at the bottom that you might be able to see in one of the pictures... it should be able to be sanded and blended in.... the blade seems pretty decent just some pitting. I think it should clean up very well and excited to bring it back to life! I think its near a wedge but i didnt take a picture of that angle... let me know what you think. BTW these were quick iphone pictures...

Hi mvacca7,
I am also waiting for a similar Wosti from an ebay purchase. I paid considerably more and do not have pretty scales like yours, so you have done well. The listing describes the scales as dyed cow bone?
Waiting is the hard part, but I am sure it will be worth while! I am told that the EBRO make excellent shavers.

I do like the looks of that one! look forward to seeing what you can do with yours. are you planning on a restore?

Yes, I am but need to see it first hopefully next week.
We should compare ideas and keep in touch.

You can round out that chip in the toe with no problems. I had a Reynolds with a bum toe like that

and it turned out good.

Just take your time.

Nice Razor!

YA that sounds awesome... I will probably tear it down and fix the chip in the scales and possibly sand the blade a bit depending on how deep these pits are.... ill keep you posted and let me know when you get yours
