The Acier Fondu means a type of crucible steel. A wonderful old piece which has been correctly restored! Hat's off
Also, your decision on going old school with the Coti is very admirable and downright wise!
Damn! I just realized. This IS an old thread! A good one, I seem to have missed it the first time!Last edited by sharptonn; 06-07-2012 at 01:27 AM.

Nice looking razor.
Patience?
I restored my last full hollow ground John Barber on a belt sander. I didn't feel like spending the time handsanding.
Not something I'd recommend anyone doing btw
Definitely not something I'd risk with someone else's razor.
Til shade is gone, til water is gone, Into the shadow with teeth bared, screaming defiance with the last breath.

I must admit I am a bit surprised by this Bruno, as my impression of you is that you tend to err on the meticulous side of restoration.

I hope your John Barber came out no worse for wear

Yes, I tend to err on the side of caution. ESPECIALLY when handling someone else's razor.
This one was mine and I only needed to get rid of surface oxidation. So I used an 800 grit belt, and VERY light pressure.
I bought it cheaply and didn't have a lot time...
It did came out very nice, and afterwards I realized that it hadn't been the smartest way to do it.
Otoh, I am working on a project with expensive steel, and I am essentially grinding the razor by hand with a rubber rod and 40 grit paper.Til shade is gone, til water is gone, Into the shadow with teeth bared, screaming defiance with the last breath.

I'll post it here when it is done. Nearly there. I just haven't found the time yet to make the scales. Originally Posted by bonitomio
