Thread: W&B FBU purist resto

When I received mine, it was in 100% original condition. Aside from honing and a rub down with Renaissance Wax, I chose to do nothing.



I think if I had yours, I'd simply try to polish out the scratches, maybe a ScotchBrite pad with some Maas, then just Maas and a soft 100% cotton rag. Otherwise, it's got tons of character and honest, well earned patina. Definitely take a minimalist approach. If it required restoration, it would be a different situation, but yours looks pretty good, and after all, it's survived 130 (+/-) years without any restoration and is thriving nicely.

Let it keep it's character. There's plenty of shiny ones out there .
