Thread: The Silver Star By Max

I bought this razor on UK e bay a year or so ago , it was a total wreck, really dirty and stained, fit only for the trash when it arrived. I wanted to persevere for two reasons, firstly because it was unusual and secondly I loved the name "Silver Star".
A decision was made to employ the "High priest" or Za'ayin Gadol" as we say in Hebrew, of razor restoration, in the form of Mad Max.

He did exactly as I asked retaining the etching on the blade as but still cleaning it to a very high standard, the scales quite frankly are a miracle , they were so badly stained yet I was insistent on keeping them.

Sadly I have no before pictures, but believe me another amazing job by Max.
If anybody has any knowledge or history about the Silver Star razor I'd appreciate it

I can see why ya wanted to have that razor restored...looks like a fun straight.
Congrats!

I'm curious, did Max repin the scales? The pins look original to me. Nice looking razor. Enjoy.

I did unpin the razor. There's no other way you can do a full restoration on a blade. I had recuperated the original washers when unpinning. The only thing that's not original anymore is the new nickel silver rod pin I had to use.

Nice Job Max,

A return of the times past. From bitterness to sweetness I say !

Enjoy that razor Engishgent !

Nice job! The scales look new! Interesting razor & looks like it was worth the expense & effort.

that is a cool razor, glad you salvaged something unique. Max good work man, judging by other before pictures I've seen I can imagine what a transformation this was.
