Hi folks,
I got started wet shaving about a year ago, and started with straights about three months later. I've been slowly building skills, first shaving, then honing, and finally (about a week ago) restoring. Still working on all three! I'm building a workshop for restoring, locating it in a basement laundry room/book shelf area. Got shelves and a workbench set up. Am now building four roll-up polyethylene walls to surround the work bench so I can use a buffer. Meant to get up this morning and get to work on it, but then got caught up looking through threads on various forums in SRP. Wow. Day half gone already. I'd better get to work!
I already posted pictures on other threads, but here I'll post these to show where things stand right now. Here's the workbench/shelves area:

And here's one of the razor sanding jig, with embedded magnets to hold the blade in place:

I've finished restoring a couple of razors and have maybe thirty total waiting for treatment. First, though, the plastic retractable walls. I'll post pictures in the workshop forum once they're finished.
