Thread: Antique Store "Warranted" "Cast Steel"

As an opinion, The blade looks like it had a bit of soap on it and was laid upon its side as the show side is clean of corrosion.
It should clean up nicely and be a good shaver!

Looks like a good way to get your feet wet and sore fingers into the beginning stages of restoring. Good find. Get to cleaning it up and see what come of it. Then check back in with it and see what folks think the next step should be. It might come clean with steal wool and polish or WD40 for a lube. Go for it!

I love those scales. This razor should serve you well after a bit of TLC. Well done!

Thanks for all the feedback! I don't think it will happen fast, but whenever I get any progress on this one I'll post some new images. I also picked up a super cheap razor that I'm going to practice on. And of course now I'm researching honing....

Me too!

Doing your research before you buy will help you get the right stuff. Do you have a strop?

yeah, I have a simple hanging strop that also has a piece of synthetic material. I picked up a couple of buffing wheels and compounds that I'm using on my practice razor, going slow and getting shiny

The same "cast steel" and the same scales. Someone remanufactured razors? How long ago? In which country? My razor came to me in this state and was only sharpened. Shaving on Saturday.
