Unknown Straight Razor Restoration WIP

[brussel]

Good day all!

I'm new to these forums, but thought I would show the process of me doing a small restoration on an Unknown razor.

It is a wedge ground smiling blade with a square toe and single stabilising shoulder(If I'm using the wrong terminology, please correct me ). It has bone scales and a wooden spacer with, what looks like, peened over brass pins and brass washers. It is quite badly stained, and has some light rust between the tang and the scales and some along the spine of the blade. Under the staining and the rust, the blade seems to be quite decent, but is scratched quite badly, probably due to bad honing and sharpening.

I just bought this straight, and hope you enjoy the process as much as I will. I will update as and when I get a chance.

enjoy!
