Satin wedge newbie restore
Attachment 165306Attachment 165307Attachment 165308Attachment 165309Attachment 165310I am about a month deep into the wild world of straight shaving. So I like any rookie did ye olde Google search of best straight razor for a beginner. The choices were, dovo best, whipped dog special, gold dollar, or shavette. I went by way of shavette. Lasted me three days and I scrambled to get a real straight. So I found an antiquities dealer in my area and scored a dubl duck satin wedge. For a whopping 19$. It was amazing after I honed it and stropped it. But to my dismay the celluloid was rotting and literally burst while I was shaving. So I said to myself. Time to restore this SOB. I took her apart and gave it a light once over (I liked some of the patina). And used some micarta to make some new scales. This is the result. Attachment 165299Attachment 165300
