Thread: George Wolstenholm

I have done a few as well. It’s not an easy task. A good grinder makes a big difference.
Your regrind came out quite well, and the finished razor looks good.

Great regrinding and beautiful scales.

Think you should have kept the nut and bolt as the pivot pin

asking for a friend. lets call him ... schloan.

say schloan is super lazy and doesnt want to hand-sand any razors to remove pitting. what type of minimum mechanic setup would he need to successfully regrind?

just wondering. for a friend.

Vic had built a tiny grinder at one point. Charlie also has a small grinder that he built. Most guys build or buy 2x72 belt grinders. From there it’s about some good instruction and practise.

Looks good.
It is a real skill as I am finding out.
I would say it is the most interesting part of restoration.
The grinder takes years to master but the learning curve is fast.
I spent most of Sunday re grinding 3 blades and I'm loving every second of it

schloan is SOL, to remove pitting you need sandpaper, either moved by hand or a grinder

It was a fun project

I haven’t been brave enough to attempt a regrind, but am curious to know what you used. Was it a grinding wheel or a belt sander? I’ve seen videos of folks using both and the belt sander seems more versatile.
