Thread: Frederick Reynolds Wedge 7/8 restore (picture heavy) part 1

When i usually get a beat up razor i almost always replace the scales and shine it up.

This time i wanted to restore the whole thing and keep the original scales.

Got a nice BIG Frederick Reynolds 7/8 wedge and wanted to try to revive it by keeping it vintage as it was.

This is the razor and this is what it looked like after i took it apart.



Pins came off easily with a file and my flush cutters so that went well.

The scales were a wedge-less design which made it simpler for me.

I then went about and sanded blade and scales by hand, using 220 grit all the way up till 3000 grit and then finished off with Mothers Mag polish.

Part 2 next so that i can add more pictures.
