Family Heirloom Restoration
I often forget to take before picstures.
I got these two for a restoration. Both in bad shape to begin with.
I did a mini regrind on the Coudert
Frowns still need removal

The razors belong to my French teacher, Sebastien, and they are his father's and grandfather's razors. Seb is not a wet shaver (yet, lol), so I'm going to hone the frowns in situ. Frowns are always time consuming but I would not want to remove the metal from them given the circumstances. The razor in the Puma scales is actually a J. Coudert, and the frameback is a Pelleray, both Paris marked.
Cheers, Steve

Lol, the before pictures are Seb's or Seb's mother's images. Doc did the cleanup, I'm going to hone them. Stand by for a HOTD this weekend. Originally Posted by cudarunner

Very nice job with the cleanup, but there is hardly a better edge than the ones you put on a razor and I would have left them with you until the job was completed. Originally Posted by Doc226

Nice work, Doc-I just got an Engstrom in the mail today that is nearly identical to that frameback as far as rust coverage. I would be interested in hearing your technique for rust removal if you would be willing to share it. Thanks-Aaron
