Thread: My first restor and hone

OK, I got me a $7.50 razor of da'Bay. It was in pretty good shape but there was a few nicks in the edge. Looks like someone use it to cut wire. Well I spent a good hour or so on a diamond hone I have till I got past it. 40 strokes on the Norton 4000 and another 40 on the 8000. Stropped it 60 times and took a shower.

I am so excited. It was the best shave yet with a straight. By George I think I have it.



It also looks great after following Lynn's DVD on restoring. My next step will be re-pinning. I would like to get a little more polishing done on the rest of the tang. Ebay here I come!!!

P.S. it's restore not "restor". I was typing on my phone. not that I am a spelling guru... Or is that goooroo?
