Restoration?

**macinnisl** · 04-20-2012, 05:08 PM

Hey I found this pretty cool Razor but I am not sure how much work / if it can be restored. Looks pretty good to me but I am just getting into this. Wondering if anyone can give me an idea based on the pictures if it looks like it will turn out nice with a little cleaning or is there any big things I'm missing?

Thanks!

Honestly for that razor I would simply get some MAAS or simichrome and polish it. Use a sandpaper progression to remove the active rust then hone it. looks like a really cool razor.

Hey!!

Yep, I agree, some simple polish should do it no problem. I wouldn't do anything that would harm the etching as the beaver is really cool.

It looks like it will be a fine razor and a good shaver. I've brought many a razor back to life that looked a whole lot worse than that one does. Great find!!!

Enjoy it!

If by representing your country you mean England, you are lucky you have so many to choose from!

some simple polish should do i think.

The metal polish is a good first step but do note that if you get the metal polish on the etching (the beaver and Canada on the blade) it will remove the etching.

Like everybody else said polish! turners are nearly always great shavers.

you mean remove the black from the etching right? i know it will slightly round the edges of the actually etch.... depending on the depth of the etch it should still look good.
