This razor needed a bit of work getting it back to factory DPilot83 and I decided to take it all the way back as far as I could manage,,, The blade was polished out to a nice Satin finish but the scales required much more... The warp need to be straightened out, then all the brown oxidation was sanded off using 800 grit wet-r-dry polished with 1500-2400-4000 grit Micromesh, Then a few applications of Turtle Wax liquid rubbing compound by hand... New pins lock washers and bearing washers in brass... Now she is ready for a few more years of service....

great job. your work is always flawless! that razor looks brand new!

yet another classy, understated beauty

As always, gorgeous.......

Good work! I like to see them kept together. That blade is a nice one with jimps galore. Kudos!:tu

Looks amazing. I wish I had tho skills and tools to be able to do something like that.

Thanks Glen! Looking forward to using it. Looks great.

Nice save on the blade G & you know the razor gods are smiling when the bakelite holds together & turns out like that :D

You just ain't kidding Oz man, that wedge pin wanted to give me fits :) I had to clip and file it on both sides, and use Kroil on it, plus twisting the scales around before I finally got it out... It was rusted in there tight... I kept thinking it would have been easier to build a new set hehehe but you know as well as any of us once you set yer mind ant nothing going to stop us except a Snap, Crackle, Pop :rofl2:

Glen,
as always...excellent work.

Nothing beats rising to a challenge :roflmao

New member here, I stumbled upon one of these razors at an "old stuff" store down the street without knowing anything about it. I bought it because it did not seem to have any glaring issues. Now I feel like I have something that is worth working on!

Once again tremendous work. How do you do it?
