Frederick Reynolds restoration...

[Wolfpack34]

Although not my first resto it is the one that I just finished. I have many that I would like to post but...my camera skills are pitiful to say the least: 1 part mechanical failure and 1 part pilot error...

Anyway this is the best I could do ( camera wise!) so I figured I would give it a shot.

The first pics are 'BEFORE' and then a couple of 'AFTER' shots. As you will see the etching on the blade was pretty well trashed and couldn't be saved, which I really don't mind, since this razor cost me less than a $20. I did the spine and shank with a 'mirror polish' and the blade face with a 'satin' finish. The contrast is really quite nice, but you won't see it in the photos unfortunately. All done by hand... with a dremmel being used for the polish.

The scales are horn, were hand sanded, then polished with a dremmel using 'Brown' polishing compound. Finish polishing on the scales was accomplished with Maas.

BEFORE PICS: taken by the seller




AFTER PICS: taken by me ( )



The razor still has yet to be pinned...as soon as the 'anal-side' of my brain is happy!
