Dear Enthusiasts,
For your viewing and comments,please look over this huge Geo Wolsterholm Rockingham Works razor it is 10/8 a little larger actually.It has never been honed much,but I may clean it up and give it a try.I dont think a full restoration is the way to go As I like it as is.What are your recommendations.I have another 10/8 wedge shave ready and it shaves pretty good.This is a full wedge
Kindest Regards Gary
Clean the blade with some polish and 0000 steel wool.
Soak the scales in oil.
Lightly sand both with a very high grit paper before hand if necessary.
Hone and shave.
That's a beautiful razor and doesn't need much.
Enjoy!!

It is 8:30 am, -11F outside, sipping my first cup of coffee and what do I behold? Some fabulous razor porn! :)
Gary, that is one beautiful straight razor. I agree that it should not be "fully restored", just remove the dirt, soak the scales to rehydrate them, then hone it and enjoy the shave. :)
You said you liked big blades. I guess sometimes you can get what you want. Congratulations.
That brute must weigh a lot. You might have to work out a bit before the first shave ; )
I have received some great suggestions and they say to leave as original,just lightly clean.I will follow your suggestions
Thank you for your comments Gary
I thought it was a meat cleaver!
Folding, camping cleaver with chef's notch.Quote:

Monster blade. Nice one.
An amazing find and I agree with your plan.
I used to have a meat cleaver that looked very similar. That thing is pretty awesomely large.
Awesome! I'm a big razor fan as well. What a score!
