Thread: Rescuing the beautiful W&B razor.

Very nice save Alex. The method you used to remove the chip was the best approach possible while maintaining the beauty of the blades geometry. What did you use to bring the blade to such a nice shine and not remove the blade etch? What every it was it worked very good.

Fantastic rescue! It really looks great.

Great work, without seeing the first picture, one would never know there was once a large chip in the blade. It's very seamless work.

The scales aren't ivory, are they? They have a similar color but look like they may be something else

Fine job, must be fairly difficult to hone with a curved edge on the razor or not ?

Nothing special. I honed the razor, as simple smile blade.

The scales aren't ivory, are they?

Celluloid.

What did you use to bring the blade to such a nice shine and not remove the blade etch?

I use polishing felt circle with CrO, diam. 6", 90 rpm.

Excellent job and btw. I like the new shape of the blade more than original one was.

Great save. What a classy razor, so glad you returned it to its former glory.

Excellent save, I'm sure whomever the lucky owner is will enjoy shaves from this razor for years to come.

Wow, that is some serious metal moving or should I say removing...Brilliant workmanship sir!

Pure inspiration. That you could take it from the before to the present: amazing.
