    Default 3 used razors!

    Two of these I got off eBay for a song. One from Whippeddog. The one from Whippeddog needed a touch up.

    The other two were no where near shave ready.

    I don't have a high grit stone. But I remembered a trick my grampa taught me and got them all shave ready using a 400 grit oil stone and some sand paper and some paste!

    They all shave great now!

    You use the sand paper to "finish" the blade. It's all about using a very very light touch.

    What grit? I'm guessing wet dry.
    I've never of that method before. I have heard of setting the bevel on sandpaper (I've done that myself), but never what would be considered finishing
