    Default restore contest!

    The first will be for you new restorers. The contest will run till the last day of January and all new restorers (as in this will be your first restore) may enter one razor for the judges consideration. it may be a razor restored to its original condition or a razor that has been completely revamped with new scales and the works. We will have one prize for each category. The prizes are to be announced but David has assured we we will have something nice for prizes. So far Lee and Max will be acting as judges and more will be announced.

    I have a question...

    I'm a relatively new straight shaver. I think the razors are beautiful, so I've had an interest in restoration since I started. I bought a few old razor off ebay this week, and I'm thinking of trying to enter this contest.

    Here is the question. Does the razor need to be shave ready?

    I don't mind investing a little $$ to "get into" restorations, but I won't be able to also buy some stones AND learn to hone by then.

    I realize the judges really have no way of knowing, but I want to make sure I'm still keeping with the spirit of the contest

    My plan is to eventually learn to hone, but for now I'll be sending a couple of these vintage blades to someone that knows what they are doing
