Thread: Old Sheffield brought back to life

What a lovely job - great work

looks superb beautiful restore, great looking razor and excellent work.

Jamie.

Having held that razor in my hand prior to the restore and seen the state it came in,
I am thrilled you managed to save that front scale. It sure looks the part, well worth the effort.
Lovely job on the painting as well, very nicely done Rune


It's good to know who to go to when I have a challenge on my hands

That looks great! Amazing work to bring that ole girl back to its former glory

I don't know if it had it originally, but with the gold lettering in the scales I found it suitable, kinda makes it whole if you understand..

Stellar effort restoring the scales & adding the gold highlights.

Thanks, I only have sunday razors (it's the only ones I find worth keeping)

No special feason really, I used it back when I restored guitars, and a some scales ago I tried it simply because it was all I had and it worked, so I'm just using the bottle I had left.

Very nice. Well done on a great restore.

Excellent work! I am impressed with how the scales turned out. Never knew oil soaks could do so much. I will keep this in mind if/when I do a complete restore.

WOW! Most impressive!
