Thanked: 132457 Day set of Redpoints !!!
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
Now these two have issues, one is chipped and one has warped scales,
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!!

Thanked: 10Glen 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.
