Thread: Dubl Duck "Lifetime Grim Reaper"

Nice Razor!!!That one looks easy enough.I would polish the blade with a dremel. Hand polish the Scales,and HONE R UP!!! The more original the better!!! In my own opinion.

I really don't want to endorse one restorer over another, but I've seen some of Glen's work on scales/bolsters like these and he does well. Maybe send him a PM-- he could also tell you of others who would do well with this one, he's a class act.

Nice razor and the most sought after DD. Be sure you take Al's quote above literally. He would polish the blade with a dremel. He's done such things before. Since you're new to this I would STRONGLY strongly strongly caution you NOT to try to take a dremel or any other motorized tool or buffer to that razor. One wrong move with a felt bob and a dremel and you have a cracked blade and a razor (except for its scales) hovering around worthless.

The razor in the classifieds is this one in the thread from Floppyshoes IIRC

http://straightrazorpalace.com/works...-gssixgun.html

We did those just to show how they could be re-done, you really don't want to have to do that to a Reaper they are way more valuable intact...

The razor you have there is very collectible, you need to use extreme care if you are going to restore that yourself....

DD's have always been a love/hate razor, they have the finest blades around, not many if any are better....
They also have the worst most finicky, delicate, scales ever to curse a razor...

Chris is right .What was I thinking.I was merely saying What I would Do.SORRY!

Thank you everybody for the replys!

Here is the razor after a little cleaning. I am thinking I will just send it off to be honed now. Thanks for all the help, especialy Blackstangal!
