No need to apologize for the rosette photograph Voidmonster....you can see a hellish amount of lint as well as the difference in collars.

My guess is everybody got their tools struck off the same mold, or even from the same original manufacturer (even the guys that made tools had to buy tools to make tools).
170 year old velvet lined boxes really do ONE particular thing VERY well... Can you guess what it is?-Zak Jarvis. Writer. Artist. Bon vivant.

Here you go Dave!
Getting this one done has been a real project to be sure and for certain! Dave's been as patient as Job with me, BUT in my defense taking on a project like this one is a challenge and you really have to go slow as you go.
Anyway...here is a picture tutorial of this project. All that's left to be done is for Dave to pick out the collars (either brass bulls-eye, or Domed SS) that he thinks will look the best for him and get it pinned up and honed up.
Here's the way the razor looked when it arrived:

And here’s is what the razor looked like after all the red surface rust and the black discoloration (what some would call “PATINA” ! ) had been removed to show what and how bad the pitting damage was before beginning the restoration project…

After a lot of the initial sanding was done…the tang top bottom and sides as well as the spine and toe have been cleaned up a good bit, but major pits still remain on the blade faces. BUT… I am starting to see a way forward…

The pits are almost completely gone except for a few near the edge. The blade is really starting to take shape now…Careful sanding and continuously bread-knifing the edge to keep it from getting to thin and losing too much of the blade width…
