Thread: First razor first restore...

So, I buy this thing on EBAY for the purpose of restoring and getting to know straight razors. (Ive only seen the cheapies before).

I spent a lot of time sanding the rust and pits away and shining it up. it became like this.


Not too bad... I am a knife maker by trade and have a background for this type of thing but up until recently didnt know much about straight razors. I was even able to keep the Wade and Butcher lettering...
The pin is just temporary until i find a source for these little guys. any way just wanted to share. I did shave with it after honing and stropping but it was a little rough. (operater error im sure) Im looking forward to this change in my daily routine. A little gift to myself.

Hope you enjoyed the post.
