Thread: Frederick Reynolds Wedge

Hi gents,

I recently bought this nice wedge razor here on SRP. The first 3 pictures show how the razor was.
I de-pinned it, sanded it, polish it and re-pinned it. The pitting is not entirely gone, so I haven't achieved a true mirror finish.
This was the first time I ever honed a wedge, although this is not a true wedge, it's a near-wedge!
Here are the pictures, tell me what you think.

Those first pictures look pretty familiar...

Finished product looks good.

They look familiar, don't they?

Excellent work - thanks a lot for sharing!

You did a fantastic job.....And if it isn't a wedge...it sure does look like one.

You did a great job, Leon. Those scales look like new. Thanks for posting those pictures.

Thanks guys.

I posted this thread and went shaving to test it.
I can now tell you that shaving with this razor is S W E E T

I'm so glad you are pleased with it. Just out of curiosity, how much work did you do on the scales? What did you use on them?

Well, after de-pinning, I used a similar product to MAAS (we don't have MAAS here, but I bought some similar product) and rubbed it using a cloth, then using other clean cloth I finished the cleaning/polishing process.
Just out of curiosity , what do you think the material of the scales is? Is it plastic or something else?
