Thread: Packwood restored

I picked this razor up a couple years ago.
All covered in crusty red rust, I cleaned it up to where I could live with it, and tried to hone it, to no avail. It'd been all but honed out, no thanks to the rust I presume. So I put the devil spit thing in the to do drawer till my skills had improved enough to take on the challenge to bring it back to life.

So here's what it looks like out of the drawer.

Here you can see the wonky bevel


So with the aid of a magnetic blade holder a dremmel with various sized wheels and the greaseless sharpton sent, I under cut the spine and slightly hollowed out each side of the blade while removing the devils spit and truing up the edge. So yes...refaced by dremmel.

After the full Monte with the greaseless, it was back to 600, 800, 1000, wet dry paper. Then 800 crocus paper with Cr/ox, n WD-40, a worn scotchbrite wheel in the dremmel at low speed, Cr/ox, then Maas on a rag wheel in the dremmel, followed by 3M metal restorer (blade bling) on a rag by hand.
