Thread: Wet behind the ears

The razor you show would take very little to put it back to work. As mentioned above, there are some ladies that do use straights. I've done my wife's legs, she loves it.

The simplest way to start with restoration is simple metal polish like Maas, Flitz, Mothers...you get the point. It's not going to hurt the razor and will remove a lot of the light rust. If there is deeper rust, you can opt to have a restoration specialist work on it or choose to get more aggressive and try some steel wool. Considering your lack of knowledge (please don't take as an insult) and those razors being priceless heirlooms, please don't resort to sandpaper.

Most of all, if you choose to work on the razors, USE CAUTION as a dull razor is sharper than most knives!

Thank you, that's good advice, I'll start with the metal polish and see how I go with that.
I'd better make sure my tetanus shot is up to date because I can be careful but you're absolutely correct about the hazard.
