Thread: How bad is this restore???

try not to buff with a speed above 1750 rpm. Too easy to ruin the blade by over heating! if you feel you MUST use that grinder, use the smallest buffing wheels possible

I think that razor just needs a hand rubbing and a honing. =)

+ for this advice.

Before you start honing check it for a frown, it's probably just the lighting or the picture, but it looks to me like a very slight frown (easily fixable)

Rodb, I see a couple mixing boards in your avatar.. looks like a couple 32 channels??? Do you produce?


Also removing a from would just consist of butter knifing and then honing on 1k until frown is gone???




Thanks for the input everyone, ill be using the micromesh higher grits and some Maas for now. This is my first peen job so ill let you guys know how it goes

I own a studio, I'm more of an engineer than a producer. The boards are all digital, so there really isn't a top end on track count (it might be 256?), I leave the producing to the customer unless they really need some help and ask me, MUCH less headaches that way

For a frown you can raise the spine well off the stone and work that way until the frown goes away, then work it as a normal razor

Hard to tell from photos. But if the blade has no chips then I'd start by just honing it and see how it shaves first before I did anything else.

Received the razor, got it looking nice with some maas! Is it possible to over maas lol o.O I've been going at it.

Also I have a question, the razor had no inner washers.. all my other razors do and I see most restorations have them. Should I get some?

If you plan on re-pinning, washer help stabilizer the blade in the scales as well as could help the blade close center. They also help prevent excess wear on the scales I believe

Okay. Headed to the hardware store to see if they have any.

Do you know if maas will cloud up the metal or something detrimental from over use? Or can I keep buffing away
