    Here are some before and after pics of the set


    Here are the five intact good razors they just need some good cleaning and polishing as to not loose the etch

    We decided to chnage out the two problem children so that we have six solid razors
    Which I cleaned and polished out, 3 need some light buffing but we kept the etch on the front side

    So to tackle the 7th razor, I straightened the warped scales with a boiling water dip, then took out the chip slowly on the 2x72 with a 320 grit belt,, I tried to match the gentle smile as best I could to the original's

    Now I fliped them to the backside and stuck the #7 blade in there, pretty tuff to find it huh ??? look close it is there

    Gotta do some serious honing, that 7th razor is going to be fun to bring back the edge on

    dhat,
    Looks like you've got a great set of razors. You're pretty lucky, ever time I get a red point it seems to have scale issues. 6 out of 7 is a pretty good success rate. Stay safe!!

    Best Regards,
    Howard

    Glen,
    Great job, as usual!! Thanks for the pics!!

    Glen makes it look so easy doesn't he? I guess I will have to work a little harder next time to find some "lost cause" that will challenge him.
