Vinatge Restore: U.D.F. & T. co New York BO-RAS-IC Razor
A complete Vintage Restore using all the old parts,,,
Before pics:
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....

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