I hope so, below presentation of my last (so far) restoration will explain my idea of eching improvment.
Straight Razor: Samuel Osborn & Co. Clyde Steel Works from Shefield
Original scales : ivory (cracked unfortunately)
Before:
During operation:
Firstly I mask eching or stamp area by nail varnish.
After few minutes can start remove varnish in places intendent for eching. I made it with magnifier and using small needle. Character by character whole stamp or eching mus be uncovered
After that arduous job, I put FeCL3. Wait about 15 - 20 minutes. It depends on concentration of mixture.
And achieved black and deep eching.
Before this method, I try electrolise (5volt supplier and brine) but this proces gives worse efects.
Like this:
Before, few characters vanished completely and had to reconstructed.
My MOSSTAMP razor was improved only by eching. This Sam Osborn by combine those two metods.
Actually I don't use electrolise.
After restoration:
Scales: Bamboo finished by polished CA. It's my way for ivory replace
Pins: Stainless steel
Wedge: Piece of coin
