Nice one! I have a couple of F. Reynolds and they're my best shavers.

Today the postman was very nice to me, I got the razor. I immediately went down stairs and fired up the dremel and cleand off the heavy scaled on corrosion. Not too bad, I did a little sanding and got the major stuff. There is still some staining and the pivot pin is shot but not a bad razor. As it will be a few weeks before I can invest some more money and time to it I put the hones to it and I believe it will be a great shaver. I will wip out the camera as soon as I learn to take some macro shots, guess I have to read the manual for that.

Look in your toolbox junk. I'll bet you have some brazing rod leftovers. They are everywhere and they work OK., and come in many small sizes. Be carefull when you peen the ends and not break the scales (handles).

Ok, I spent a few more hours sanding and polishing last night and here's what I came up with. The razor was rougher than I thought. Don't forget this was my first try. It did take an edge very well, I will try to shave with it tonight. I sanded with several different grits and then used this polish called MET-ALL POLISH, it worked great.

That looks nice! You put a nice shine on that blade, and I'm a sucker for tortoise-shell scales.

What grit sandpaper did you go down to?

Let us know how she shaves!

I started with 180, 240, 320 and 600 thats all that I have on hand. The polish that I used really brought out the shine though. There were some really deep scratches and pitting that I couldn't get out, it looks likes someone before me did some work.

Looks great! Too bad there are no before pictures. Where do you get MET-ALL POLISH?
