Wow didn't know a tumbler can clean a straight razor. Cattaragus razor has very nice scales btw. Is it plastic?

That's a great question on the scales....frankly, I have no idea what material they are. Guessing they're plastic...? And yes, the tumbler really did a decent job. I'd seen someone mention it somewhere and decided to give it a whirl. Even did a nice job on the one with scales, just had to get some little bits of media out from between the scales and was good to go.

Pixelfixed-I remember a while back noticing someone honed/restored razors from I think somewhere in north Idaho. He may be just the guy to send these to for honing .

Nice job
love the grind on the cattaraugus

The grind on the Catteraugus is from the factory. Properly honed it should be a great shaver Very nice finds for sure!

Those are both good brands of razors and should be good shavers. You need a unpasted strop for daily use. Start with a cheaper strop or something with replacement parts as you will nick up your first one.

Ha Glen is a fan of Littlr Valley New York blades , as I am now that he honed mine, So he could fix you up ,, may need to do something about the pivot hole too. , tc

Thanks for the great help. I'll look him up when I get a set of scales put on and see about getting both honed up nicely. Will have to check around and find a strop that will do. Appreciate all the help.
