Thread: Some information on project razors.

Hello members of SRP

I have been looking at my every growing collection of razors and i have been preparing them for mild restoration, simple rust removal, scales straightening, and scale replacement. I am posting pictures and of the razors, because i want to be sure if they are worth my time, and i want a little more detail on them.





Sorry, but i have a really cheap camera so my description will mostly be more helpful.
1.George Wostenholm, Original pipe razor
-broken scales,
-devils spite(character marks)
2.Gun Metal, Geo F Creutzrurg & son, Phila
-i believe synthetic scales.
-mild buffing needed.
3.Top Flight,Burrell cutlery co, EllicottVille
-ivory scales,
4.Cadet Army & Navy, F&G. MAAGACO new york, made in england.
-mild cleaning,
-scales require fixing.

If anyone could give me a little information, such as date(although hard with terrible pictures) and if you think its worth restoring. I know its against the rules to discus prices, but i am only asking if it is worth time and effort.
Thank you

They all look restore-able. But whether they're worth it is entirely up to you.

Peace,
Jim

if they were mine other than repairing the scales all they would be getting is a good cleaning to get rid of the rust and polish with MAAS... i like my razor to show age. the first 2 should wind up as great shaver if there is no hidden damage, the top flight should be a good one as well, but i bet the scales are bone. never heard of the last one.

enjoy,
jim
