This one belongs to one of our Straight Razor Brethren from B&B Andy, I think this razor will travel farther then any other I have ever restored as it is heading home to Southern Australia from North Idaho

J.Moreton & Co Straight Razor - Badger & Blade


I tore this one all the way down and started at 80 grit Greaseless compound on the low speed buffer took her dancing all the way up to 600 grit...
I switched to Emory compound and the high speed buffer up through White Rouge and a near perfect mirror finish...
Most of the chips came out of the blade as you can see before I ever got her on the hones, a few very light strokes across the back of a stone evened the rest out and she honed up and shaved great last night....
The scales were Andy's choice of Purpleheart and a simple shape I added the brass lined ebony wedge to set it off... The hardware is all brass with stacked washers... The finish is a hand-rubbed 8 coats of Tru-Oil then buffed to a sheen with Renwax...
