Double Duck Pearlduck restore
My friend John found this at a antique store, covered in some weird chemical, sans scales, and basically black with a slight frown.
Asked me if I would barter with him for a restore job. He brought me a 1x30 belt sander in exchange for restoring this one and one other razor, to be shown later.
One of my best jobs ever. Hand sanded, buffed and shined. Put in a set of vintage bakelights I also restored and here are the results of many hours of labor.
Enjoy the rescue of another bottom of the drawer razor that will get another new lease on life.

Nicely done Mike! Perfect match with those scales, I'll bet she gives great shaves.

Ear Cutter, you just hush! I want my razor back! LOL.
Seriously folks, Mike has taken a really rough looking blade and made it beautiful. I can't thank him enough. What a guy! I can't wait to get it back. I wish he had waited on belts for his sander and not done it by hand though. Makes my hands throb just thinking of all that sanding! Wow!! What Mike didn't tell ya is that I bought it for $3. That's right, go ahead and hate me. I can take it. hehe.
