Thread: Restoration advise sought out!!!

Thank you Ed!!! I will look them up. I was having a hell of a time getting back to the site. I didn't know the name changes and I kept trying to use saved bookmarks and was getting bounced.

Check out the Library, 3rd Button from the left , top of the page.

Here's one article for you from there:
Hand sanding a blade - Shave Library

How about some pics of the razor in question, if possible.
That was my biggest learning curve when I joined, but it would help us determine the best approach.

If its a full hollow ground blade, there's not much you can do, without destroying the blade. If it's a wedge type you'll have some steel to work with. It all depends on the degree of pits and rust, for each particular type of grind.

Read thru the library, it'll clue you in on a lot of need to know information before you get started. Trust me.!!

Here my own steps
Heavy rust - WD40 and 0000 steelwool, then ...
Light pitting removed with a steel or brass drill brush
Remains of rust - white clay soap ("pierre d'argile" material for pans and cooking pots) with cotton patches
A felt patch on the drill with polish cream
Then a clean felt patch
