Thread: Antique shop find

I think it's time to hone it up and show it off in SOTD

[QUOTEI laid it on a ruler and it looks to be exactly 8/8, maybe a smidge wider at the toe of the blade.[/QUOTE]

Sorry, I didn't read your initial post well enough. What a nice chopper! Hope to find one that good someday, and I will.

No worries I'm sure you'll find a nice one. Happy hunting!

Congrats on a great find! I like that you are not going to the max with a restore and keeping it original. Mass and some Neats along with a good honing is all that is needed to put this monster back in service. Enjoy your shaves with this beauty.

Thanks, Joe! It only took me a second to make the decision to not go overboard with the restoration on this one. Leaving it original and just cleaning, polishing, and honing seems the best way to let the history of this nice razor come to life. I can't wait to get it shaving!

Cheers,
