    Default 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.

    Cheers, Steve

    Ok, that makes a bit of sense to this old redneck country boy--

    With that said; what circumstances would be present for the need to leave a frown in place? I don't see much metal to remove

    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.

    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
