Just picked up this little number on Ebay for 11 bucks, I want to try my hand at restoring it, I figure for 11 bucks even if It shaves like crap (or never shaves at all) it's not a huge deal.
Let me know what ya all think :)

$11 for a training tool is a good buy.
Looks like a fair candidate and it is a Solingen made razor so it should shave fine:)
a good buy
Thanks, I have access to polishing wheels etc so I am going to attempt resto when I get it. If I can get it looking nice I'll send it off to Lynn to sharpen/hone since I don't have stones (Yet, I figure i can afford them around march :) ) Just want to see how this goes, unpin it, clean the scales, polish the scales, and then polish the razor and see how it shaves :)
And thats how you get the bug my friend...lol:gl:Quote:

My last sanding with 2k 3M paper is sometimes
done with a spray of WD-40 instead of water.
I do not restore -- I just rescue my razors...
Seems like a nice basis for a first rest attempt: good luck and keep us posted with pics please?
Kind regards, Jazor.
It looks like a good enough razor to be worth all that work when you get it done. There is no bigger turnoff than spending endless hours and a professional honing fee (which can't ever be cheap), and ending up with an effective shaver you could have bought for $20 instead of $11.
