Dubl Duck & M.J. Higgins restoration from Max

All,

Take a look at these beautiful straight's that Max restored for me. From front to rear they are as follows: Dubl duck Satinedge, M.j. Higgins and Dubl duck Wonderedge. They absolutely look perfect / like new, and shave like a dream. The before shot is great just to show how much they were cleaned up. Thanks Max!

Very Nice

I have a DD Satinedge that I need restored when I have some extra money in a couple of months. Now, I am really excited about it.

Damn, I'm impressed!

How'd you clean the scales on the Satinedge to look as if they were new?

DublDutch,

You would have to ask Max how he does it, but let me tell you that they are crystal clear now! The before pictures do not do them justice, the Satinedge was in a lot worse shape. When I bought it the seller took some weird angles and when I received the razor I didn't even believe that it was the same one I saw on EBay. Max does wonderful work.

SRP lore and myth allude to Max going to the razor crossroads. Does such myth have merit? His work IS otherworldly.:w:)

Thanx, I will. Maybe he'll share some tricks of the trade :) What's his SRP name. Only Max I found is a junior member.

Enjoy those blades!

Guys, thanks for all the warm compliments. We are all one big family at SRP and that shows. In the end it's all about having fun and sharing our passion of straight shaving and razors.

DublDutch,

Hartelijk welkom tot SRP. :D

There's really no secret for cleaning those scales. First you need to dismantle the whole razor so the blade can get restored. The scales were sanded down with 220 dry followed by 230, 400 and 600 grit wet sandpaper.

The bolsters were cleaned by using some 400 and 600 grit wet sandpaper with light pressure + a few buffing sequences with Maas polish.

When all was done the scales were buffed to a final shine on the buffing wheels and finalized 12000 micro mesh.

Hope this helps.

Dankjewel!

So it's really about having the right equipment, loads of hard work (and a hell of a lot of experience) :)
