Thread: Gruesome Threesome

These pieces came in obviously in need of help. Another restorer passed the client on to me. I guess simply because he knew better, or knew I'm a glutton for punishment.

At first I had no idea what these were as the amount of rust covered the makers marks. Uncovering the Art of Shaving razor surprised me as I had no idea what brand they handled.

For the most part they cleaned up OK. The AOS piece was the worst of the bunch simply because of the thinness of the blade there was only so much I could do for it. The blade was paper thin and any more work on it would make it Swiss Cheese,, or tracing paper.

I convinced him of allowing me to restore the scales on the W&B but the other scales were going to clean up just fine. Here is what I had to start with.
