Thread: Robeson Shuredge

Picked up this Robeson Suredge "New Science Concave" off the bay, and it polished up quite nicely! It's a double concave, which I didn't have previously. I'll be taking it to the hones along with a couple of others soon.

Nice razors. I just let one go to a friend. Shaved real well.

Yea, fine looking razor and I'll be that being bellied/very hollow ground it will be a very noisy shaver.

Nice, love those Robersons they are one of my favorite shavers.

Take a cotton buff and wipe a thin coat of metal polish with you finger, let it dry and buff the jimps. This works with a buffer and spiral wheel or a Dremel, makes them look like new. Wear a mask it does make a cloud.

If they are real bad, (not yours) hit it with a brass wire wheel first to remove as much rust and junk.

Nice razor, love the scales and the smile.

Thanks for the tip on the jimps, I'm going to try that right now!

Actually, turns out it was just left over polishing compound in the jimps, it seems. I was able to scrape it all out using the high tech tool of my shirt and the edge of my thumb nail.

We'll be able to hear that one from here!

nice Robeson. I've honed and shave tested an "old science" blade of theirs.

Very nice razor with a great finish. They were manufactured with a wide hollow ground bevel instead of flat. I would think that the first times the razor was gently honed, it only took a very few strokes. Mine is old and the years have wiped out the really thin edge of the original grind. It is still a great shaver!

I use layrite as well. Pompadour's and straight shaves... lol
