Restored Sheffield Steel x Two

**gssixgun** · 04-08-2012, 02:32 AM

These came out to me from "Brothers" here on SRP, these were a little bit more of a challenge, as that had been worked on by another restorist first...

This first one, a W&B, Gary and I decided we would just re-scale in a set of reconditioned vintage scales, so I found an old W&B set from the "Box-o-Scales" that fit right and ran them through the wringer, and got them all polished up again..

I used Brass pins and Triple stacked washers to complete the look..

Now the second razor a Joseph Rodgers, was a bit more work, I had a razor that had been polished out once , but not to what Gary wanted, so I had to re-buff the razor and still try and keep the stamps intact.. I took it out to what I call a "Near Mirror" but did it very gently on the buffers, and with a little help from deep original stamps I managed it..

Now the scales I had to use new material since there were none, but I wanted the "Vintage Look" I used an old cracked set off another JR as a template and even used the original lead wedge... Gary chose Acrylic Tortoise Shell which resembles the old JR mottled Horn pretty darn close

All brass hardware completes the Vintage look...

Nice work as always, Glen. I especially like the Tortoise scales on the Rodgers. Very classy look.

Nice Pair of wedges there!

Good choice on the JR ... I'm still trying to decide on mine.

Glen, I can't thank you enough for your advice and expertise. These old razors never looked so good. Best regards, my friend.

Nice work, as usual and excellent choice of background

Always inspirational to see your work. I love the "flat" look on the second razor's scales. Really makes that "near mirror" pop out. Thanks for sharing!

Like the traditional black (horn?) scales but the tortoise look is a favourite of mine.

Two great looking restores Glen, i'm liking the Faux Tortoise shell scales, the blades looks superb.

Jamie.
