Thread: Towa restoration

Always makes me nervous when other restorers send me razors to restore . This one came it a bit worse for wear as you can see.
The blade, being as thin as a DE, made removing all the pits nearly impossible unless it became tin foil. The shafts and spine cleaned up surprisingly well with the goal being not to remove the stampings both front and rear.
The scales though injection molded were cleaned up, removed the flashing and polished the best I could without removing the characters that match the ones on the face of the razor.
The characters from what I understand translate as Towa registered, on the face, and on the reverse read, special strong iron ( steel) product.

This blade would have been a good match for my Carved Ivory Cherry Blossom scales!
