Thread: what i got.

it's not much but i just started using and collecting about a month ago maybe. The broken ones i got for free thought they might look cool in a shadow box or something.. The one on the top is the one i use.. the first on the left i want to clean up and use and the one on the right as well. there not the best but i only have about $40.00 in all but the one i use..

Wow! Very cool.

looks like youve got yourself a few good shavers there.

They don't have to be pretty to shave well. I don't know what the other two are, but the bow razor on the right certainly will shave well. Are there any markings on the tangs of the top and left ones? Also, why are you relegating the one on the bottom right to the shadow box? You included it in the broken category but I don't see anything wrong with it.

Nice. Thanks for sharing

It has broken scales. The one in the top right I want to clean up the one on the top left just needs cleaned a little

You're off to a good start. I take a paper towel and semichrome or something similar and clean them up as well as possible. If there is grunge in the scales I soak them in scrubbing bubbles and give them a going over with a tooth brush. Dental floss works well in the pivots if you're not inclined to pull the pins and replace them. More advanced techniques are in the SRP Wiki in the razor restoration section.

I watched a like 10 part video on restoring a razor but it looks like it may be to much work and i don't have all the big power tools. a belt sander and table saw. I would really like to get the 3 cleaned up. 2 just polished and the one new scales and polished. I shave with a razor i got from the art of shaving and i would like to start using a old one instead.

Go to 'member services' in the classifieds and you'll find folks who perform those services for a nominal fee. Some in the USA and Canada and maybe some in other areas of the world.
