Picked up this $3.00 blade that I though held promise. Broke it down, had to remove the script since the rust was rather deep, gave it a brushed finish but polished the spine, shaft and the scales.
Put it in the rotation and I'm a happy camper.

Very nice work. I'm starting on two right now. One is an antique Backhause from Solingen. Your motivating me to work faster.
Nice work! I have one of those and it is a great shaver :)
Great job, it is hard for me to believe those are the same scales in the before and after photos.
It's not hard for you to believe it because I neglected to mention I swapped scales. The ones in the before photos came up OK,,, but I liked the look of theses from another razor.
Sorry about that. Didn't want to mislead anyone.
I'll use the old ones on another razor.
I just thought they cleaned up and polished out really good. Thanks.Quote:

I am always amazed with these restorations. I blows my mind seeing how new looking the blades become after sanding and polishing :) fantastic work!!
Another great save! Thanks for sharing.
That is a great looking razor.
Very nice restoration.
