Dovo Astrale

[onimaru55]

This is an example of what happens if a razor is stored a while in damp condition. Even the brass name plate was corroded
Before pics are courtesy of the owner as I almost always neglect that part

Plan was to save all stamps, gold wash, etc as much as possible. Active rust over the gold wash was neutralised with BC's rust & blue remover & blade was unpinned to get at tang rust under the pivot.
Used just about every means at my disposal to clean up various aspects. From 3m's bristle discs for the jimps to a final hand polish with Autosol.

Not a Dovo fan as a rule but the shave from this one is exceptional & was well worth restoring.
