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?
Jamie
