Thanx. Did use a tiny brush but over fill was inevitable. PITA to clean off so I sanded lightly with 2000 in the end & re darkened. Might use water based paint next time

Seeing a razor restored like this one makes me want to do it with some of mine ..... the trouble is all of the hours and elbow grease required.
Great job and an admirable amount of skill but most of all patience and persistence.
Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

Thanx Jimmy. I bet you'd be a natural at razor restores. Originally Posted by JimmyHAD

I reckon tattooing would require patience & persistence too especially if doing it traditionally.
You're right it is quite a process but the results are satisfying. I use power tools to help with the elbow grease side of things tho. I hate handsanding as much as the next guy.
