Thread: Cleaned up FBU

Gave this one a new lease on life. Used all the same parts and just gave them a once over. Too
Much like fun.

Nice! Those things are like old heavy-duty tractors! All the parts can usually be re-used after refurbishing. Job well-done!
Likely better than new!

Oh yeah! These things will last many lifetimes. And they have a way of letting you know you’ve got something serious in your hand.
Thanks.

youve just increased its value by 500%! Great work as always

Mr my carver, did you shine that bad boy
by hand or buff mechanically? Outstanding
To last for generations on!

Sanded all up to 600 where I stopped at that on the blade face. Kept sanding everything else that was to get polished ( top of spine, shaft,tail) up to 1200 and then it was 1 maybe 2 passes on the buffer to remove the 1200 scratches .

Not a believer in buffers. I use one as little as possible.

up to 600. But where did you start? 320 or lower? Very nice job for sure. I didn't think you could get all that black off.

My routine is starting ( of course it depends on the razor) at 220 for cruddy blades . I have another post with an Engels where I started higher.

Getting the black off? Sanding gets you there . It can and does remove everything.

How much time would you guestimate
Involved in that beautiful (bring-back)?

This AM? I just work till it’s right.
