Well I finished this blade. I took the scales of and repinned it (my first try). I rebeveled it with my 220 Japanese waterstone which is slower cutting than you might think. I got a nice smooth...

Sure thing!
Thanks!What will you use for a punch?I got mine from Bill, but they are in Rio Grande Tools catalog.LMAO....I spent 50.00 on page 1.No problem Zak. Thanks for the compliment.

The backing pad used for these discs is made of rubber. It screws onto an 1/8" shank. There is some kind of fiber on the surface (presumeably to keep the psa from slipping).

I went through 1 1/2...

Thanks Fly!

Joe - It's all done by Dremel with PSA micofinishing discs. I went about 20 minutes with the 60 to try and get all the pitting out. Then about4-5 minutes each with 40, 30, 15. Here's a shot after...

I decided to try and work the blade a little more with the sanding discs starting at 60 micron (about 220 grit). I was able to get most of the pitting out and proceeded down to 15 micron. I don't...

I was thinking about that. How does "How Straight Razors Ruined My Marriage" sound for a title?

BTW Bill; where do I get replacements discs for the sanding kit? I've tried several searches.

Thanks Joe. That was after only about 5 minutes with each grit. I did the other side starting with 40 grit and it's even better. I don't think I can get a true mirror finish because I did not take...

OK, I just decided to brak out the adhesive sanding kit. This thing is very cool Bill. It would be rally great if there were different sized bases and discs for various sized hollows. I didn't...

It is definitely rougher looking than a scotchbrite finish. I like it this way, but I think I will keep going and see what happens.

Here is the blade after the some work with the grey fiber wheel. scratch pattern seems a bit finer (damn shadow).

Joe - I believe there is always a way to get to a mirror finish if you remove the...

So here it is after several laps up and down the blade as you describe. These are done with the Brown Fiber wheel. I am going to make the dicision about going to sandpaper or just living with the...

Good idea Joe. Thanks!

I think I got it Bill. Thanks. Video sounds great; can't wait.

I just now saw this post. I don't know why the forum shows it as read. Thanks Bill.
The yellow wheels seemed to stop working, so I went to the grey fiber wheel, which did not remove anything. I...

Yeah, I'm a little nervos. I'm not going anywhere near htat edge yet.

Yeah but I got all this cool stuff from Bill so's I could restore 'em muself. I've only ruined one so far. I have a peening hammer, micro-shear, vice, and tons of dremel goodies. I can grind the...

Hi guys
I bought this recently and am getting ready to attempt a restoration. This razor has genuine Tortoise scales; so I have been told. I am wondering if I should remove the scales prior to...
