Thanked: 3What an awsome experience!
I got this razor in pretty decent condition, it had some surface rust and slight pitting. After many hours with a dremel, sandpaper, and some polish I brought her back to life!
I cannot begin to say how much fun its been restoring this razor! It is such an amazing experience to see what a lot of elbow grease can do. This is my first shot at restoring a razor, with that being said I know I have a lot to learn. And I wouldn't say that this one came out perfect but it looks a heck of a lot better than it did! All in all I had fun doing it and hopefully as I continue to work on these projects I'll learn more and begin to form more skill at it! I would also like to thank everyone on the SRP site for the help I have received throughout my time working on my razors. If it weren't for the people here and the information on the site about restoring razors, I don't think It would have turned out half as good as it did. Thank you all! -BRETTLast edited by barberbrett; 08-27-2013 at 09:43 PM.

Looks like a great job there.
Just one problem, that $20 bill looks counterfeit to me. You better send it to me for proper investigation and disposal.

First Great job on it,
Second there are many I have not taken to 100% they lose something (and I am not just talking etching).
It is the character, many blades did not come mirrored,
and like old war ships earned their scars.
Some like to take them all, all the way.
I personally think you did that blade justice, scale it, hone it, enjoy it.It is just Whisker Whacking
Relax and Enjoy!

Thanked: 3I agree, and there is still some slight pitting where the logo is. I noticed while sanding it that if I was to try to get it all out that it would have sanded the logo down to a point where I wouldn't see it. And I did not want that, so I did the best I could.

Thanked: 3I think it will take an edge? I plan on making some scales for it, so after that I will hone her up! I really need a good hone too. Any suggestions for someone looking for a good hone thats sole purpose is to put an edge on a blade? Thanks -BRETT
