Giving Clauss some Class

Emboldened by my recent success with first real attempt at repairs, I took this damaged Clauss to the grinder. It was missing close to a quarter of an inch of the business edge of the toe. I took it from a plain ordinary square point, down to a muted square point, and decided that simply looked to plain, boring, and ordinary. So I dressed a radius into a grinding wheel, and gave her a nice old fashioned barbers notch. I tried to pretty up the top side by putting a pentagon shape on, but the pictures dont show it well. (using my cell phone for all pictures) This was certainly more complicated, but I am pretty happy with how well it turned out. Attachment 82885Attachment 82886Attachment 82887

Great job, another razor goes back on the line to serve!

Looks good. Congratulations.

And Clauss razors are really good, and under rated IMO. I will hone up and take a test shave tomorrow. =)

nice i wish i could find the time and motovation to restore a old razor like that, all i have done is make my old beat up W&B shavable on a barbers hone, great job let us know how she shaves

Awww Clauss my favorite Ohio native razor....that's looking good, let us know how she hones up. Should give a great shave!

I hope I can get my couple of clauss's to shave decent. I guess more time in the hone and strop will bring them around.

Shave finally in, and it was less than optimal. Clauss needs another go at the hones! I DO seem to have a harder time of the American blades.
