Thread: First attempt at restoring and honing

Hello Gents,

I recently acquired 2 razors from ebay for about 50 bucks each. Not in terrible condition but stained and dirty to say the least. I dont have much in the way of restoration equipment so i did what I could with just my Dremel and some metal polish and some plastic polish as well. My goal here was not to do a super accurate restoration but just to get a couple of nice razors shave ready and reasonably pretty for my rotation. Armed with Lynns DVD, gssixguns myriad of honing videos i jumped into these bad boys with hones blazing. My weapons of choice were Norton 4K / 8K and finished them up with Naniwa 12K and Crox spray on felt. They both shave very well and I'm really happy about how the whole process went. I must say that the wade and butcher was a bit of a pain compared to the gold bug. Some day I hope to take the time and make them perfect but thats it for now im just gonna shave the hell out of em. Thanks to all you folks that take the time to make instructional videos, they are really great.


Thanks
