Thread: May I introduce myself.

Petercp4e. Thank you for the welcome and the wise words. I'm just going to pick up some fine fine sandpaper to see if I can cleanup an old Wosterholm razor that was in a tin in my basement. Best regards. Mike D.

Easy does it with the sandpaper. Be sure you start fine. Then 8f its not enough step down. I normally start with stealwool and wd-40. Good luck and let us know how it goes.

Welcome to the forum! Hope you find this site beneficial to your straight razor collecting addiction.

Thank you Jerry. I'll put the sandpaper aside and I'll go with steel wool to start. I tried the WD 40 and I was amazed with the results. I grabbed a tin full of razors from my basement to play with. Thank you for the advice I appreciate the help. Mike.

Thank you Speedster. Mike D.

Welcome to the forum, Mike.
Check into the workshop thread, "What are you working on". Tons of restore info in there.!!

BTW a good metal polish, like Maas or Flitz, goes hand n hand with that WD-40 n steel wool. The icing in the cake.!

Welcome, Mike! Thank you for sharing your passion with the group; you're in great company.

Thank you outback for that information. I just got home with some scouring pads light steel wool etc. I may not have time to eat over the Christmas holidays. LOL. Mike D.

portlandrazorco. It amazes me how you folks clean, polish and restore these old razors back to life. I went to the basement and grabbed a tin with about ten old razors to practice with. Having said that those that I cherish I will never try to improve. Best regards. Mike.
