My second restoration project.

Well this will be my second razor restoration, A vintage Crown & Sword ERN the razor came to me in a very poor condition, little rust small pitting, and wide spread staining, also the scales were looking very tired with scratches dinks, so I started by unpining the scales, the original pins did not have washers on the outside of the scales, but the inner washers were made of steel, so I cleaned them up to use again, then I started with the blade, the usual wet & dry paper starting at 300 grit working up to 600 grit, then off to my power drill with buffing and polishing wheels and compound, simular job done with scales, but all hand polished, no power tools finished off with safecut and autsol, then on to the rebuild using original wedge, and the brass pin rod plus washers given to me by Graham AKA Exile, finally honed and shave ready by my standards, well I would like to think I sympathetically put the Crown & Sword back together, but tell me what you think?

I think Herr Ern would have given you a job in his day :tu

Wowww Jamie,
This is a show room finish my friend :tu. I can't even imagine how it might have been. This is just PERFECT :bow

Very nice and clean work! Erns are great and well worth this fine treatment. Kudos!

Thank you Men for all your positive remarks and praise, i'm just pleased you like it, I have one or two more vintage razors that I hope to restore in the near future, I'm looking for a set of scales for a Taylors Witness 1000 & a vintage Kropp, I have finished restoring two blades and honed them, they are now awaiting scales.

Regards
Jamie

Good luck Jamie.
I think you will soon smite us with new works.
Sincerely,
Alexander

Jamie, stand proud. That's lovely work. 'Wish all mine turned out that well. I noticed some of the guys that commented the same are VERY accomplished at this work as well. That's about as strong a confirmation as it gets. Big 'grats on very nicely done work.
