Dorko Restore

This is my first Dorko and it is already in my top 12 current rotation Razor Rack. It wasn't that bad with some minor rust around the pin and patina on the blade which only took a couple hours to buff out. The scales were in excellent shape and a couple rubbing's with MASS shined them up just fine. The new pin [stainless bolt, nut and washers] tightened up the blade real nice. I found this at a local antique mall. I know now why these command a higher price than most of the others. This one is a #14 with a 7/8 blade which is becoming my favorite width. The shave after one honing progression is outstanding.

It's great that you found a Dorko and even better that it came from a local shop! I've got a couple and really enjoy shaving with them. As you have found they hold a wicked edge and shave really smooth. Hope yuo get to enjoy that bad boy for may years!:nj

Thats a great looking razor... I was deciding on what razor to use tonight and you made me choose my undinged dorko..

That's a fine looking specimen you have there. ENJOY!!!

Like Mike said, fine looking specimen!

Looks top notch BJ!

I love Dorko's. Got two worked spine 6/8, another worked spine in 8/8 and a Spanish 7/8. All awsome shaving blades. That is a good one, nice find.
