Thread: Flea Market Restoration

Found this at a flea market (how many times have you heard that one?), it was more rust than razor. Didn't do this myself, I sent it to ShaveSmith in Colorado, just thought you might appreciate the work. It's a little bit pitted in spots but otherwise came out great. I've shaved with it a couple times and it blasts the whiskers off my face.


(Can anyone tell what this says at top?)

Looks good. How much pitting did that crusty patch leave?

Not as much as the picture might indicate. It's "speckled" but not deep. Tried to get a picture, but it's not really doing it justice.

Nice restore! It’s always good to see another one saved from the junk pile!!

The stamping that you asked about would appear to have been one time been a T with perhaps a _ to the right, while the pre buffing doesn’t show it and the after picture isn’t a close up like the original, that’s what these old eyes see.

I’m glad that it’s giving you a nice shave! Enjoy it and hang onto it as it’s ‘Special’!!

It looks like TERMA or TERIMA or TERUMA or something like that. But I can't find and references to those names or even using a wildcard search. Just hoping someone here might recognize the name.

But as you say, it is special and even though I didn't restore it myself it was fun to find, have restored and of course put into my rotation (if you can call 2 razors a "rotation". ).
