Or you can do a WIP in , what are you working on!!
I've got a few in there you might want to look at for ideas.
Like....cutting the rust off with a razor blade before using metal polish. And dental floss between the tang and scales to remove rust.
Theres all kinds of ideas there, and in the butchered blade , just for you [emoji6]

Thanks Mike I'll give those a look, sounds like I have a plethora of options.

Mike, you go fishing. You ever use Spiderwire to get the rust between the tang & scales? It works great. Its really tough if you have ever used it & is very hard to break. You can't break it with your hands. You'll cut yourself trying!

Nope ... Hate the stuff.
Got it wrapped up in my trolling motor before. Wiped out the seal and ruined my motor. (Electric)

Yeah its some tuff stuff, and would work great between scales.

Picked this up today to assist in the restoration of my Joseph Rodgers.



I wanted to get the 4000 model as it has a lower minimum rpm but tbh couldn't really justify the far higher price.

Waiting on a Shick Everlast injector razor, I've never tried
An injector razor of any brand!

Call it flashback Friday, I guess. This Schick Model J e-bay find came in the mail today. It is identical to the first razor I ever owned so there is a bit of nostalgia involved. Haven't tried it yet but when I do I think Williams soap and Old Spice after shave would be appropriate.

I done lost my mind. Happy 50th birthday to me.
So to MdC I went, well they sent a voucher.
Incoming is Ice Cream Soap, Domino Sugar Soap,The Fluted, Lastly I went for the Savon à raser Fougère.

Yeah, I can see why you hate it. It worked great for removing tank emblems from Harley's & such. Sorry about your trolling motor buddy.
