Thread: King Double Temper restoration

See!
tell me something I didn't already know.

And my friend, you came to the wrong place to hear someone tell you that you made the right choice to leave it behind.

I am still having flashbacks about mycarver's razor collection that we saw at the Hamburg PA meet-up. This man is a true artist/carver.

I have always appreciated artistic talent and this man is about as talented as anyone I know. There is a thread with pics on this site. check it out for a pleasant view.

I'm coming a little late to this post. I have one of these razors. The Double Temper is indeed harder than a file. It's darn hard steel, but I love it now that it has an edge.

My feelings are to restore an attractive razor such as this (blade etchings, unique scales, etc). Yet there are many plain razors, or razors with broken scales. These I feel are eligible for an upgrade.

I just picked up an Ed Wusthof LAMPO (only bidder by the way) with one scale cracked at the pivot pin. I'm going to try and repair the originals, but if I cannot salvage the original scales, then it's fair game. I'll replace it with aged Deer Antler or Black Walnut, using the original scales as a template.
