Thread: Rusty Anchor

Thank you Marty...

This has changed my mind about thinking a razor is not worth the effort and throw it away. I know it's is thinner but it looks amazing, I would have bet against that one coming out this good. I applaud you sir. Tc

Yes - if you look carefully and there's enough pics, it's a risk, but you can really score on some of them...I found a Henckels #14 that I thought would clean up very nicely, and in Wolfpacks hands, he got it looking virtually brand new, stunning job on this one:

Thanks Andrew!

... You did WHAT with that!?

And I know you did it without the benefit of a contact grinder. Astounding. Just astounding, Mike!

Something tells me that you could vacuum your work area and get enough steel filings to melt down into another, much smaller razor.

Hey Zak! Your probably right.... ......I'll have to think on that. Maybe another project in the making?

I'm working on it. We bought a house up here and we're gonna need to make a trip back down to clear out the storage unit down in Oceanside.

I'll look forward to that trip...it will be good to see you again Zak!

Likewise! I might even have some new razors worth seeing by then!

I think the thing that impresses me most is the fact that in the early photos you appear to have lost a lot of definition on the spine and tang edges - but later on it all comes back. It's amazing that you achieve that by hand. Quite some time ago when I looked at a couple of your previous restorations I assumed you must be re-grinding. As I said - amazing.
