Thanked: 0Thank you very much, friend!
@RezDog, indeed - the scales of Sheffield SR are made of pressed leather. You were absolutely right and thank you very much for explaining me that
I wanted to present you the results of the fast (for the lack of free time yesterday) cleaning and sharpening of the Halber's Spezial Garantie Solingen, 13/16" extra full hollow straight razor.
Before:
And after completing the procedure:
The white ballance in both pictures is a little bit different, but I think there´s possible to see some difference.
I performed only chemical sterilisation, then the steel cleaning with soft vitroceramic kitchen soft cleaner and then polishing of the steel and scales (elbow grease style) with 3M green cap paste, followed by usual Unicot honing session with yellow Coticule stone with slurry, denim belt and various grades of leather. Because of the lack of time I did not use the fine sandpaper, but probably with the next honing session of this straight I will.
Anyways, there are some pictures of mines with this straight in use posted in the SOTD thread. Thanks for reading all of this
And...the second straight from the pool of 3: 7/8" Solingen Ern "The Crown&Sword" Extra Full Hollow.
Before:
and after the cleaning procedure:
