Thread: Straight Razor Restoration: Start to Finish

I've added these videos to the Wiki, for future reference. I'll add them to the wiki as I complete them.

I wanted to share with everyone a video from start to finish of how I restore a straight razor. These series of videos will, I believe, answer a ton of questions about restoration that may be difficult to answer.

To the veteran restorers, I'm sure I've missed some things, I'm sure I've done some things wrong. Please let me know about it!

To the guys looking to start restoring, I think this could be a real eye opener to how we do it.

To the guys that don't fit in either of those groups, please, try not to make fun of my nerdy voice and poor public speaking skills. I was actually pretty nervous! hahaha.

My intention is to complete a full series of videos that document the scale making process as well. Thus far, I only have done 5 segments, which cover blade unpinning and blade restore to mirror.

I will edit this thread when I complete the remainder of the video.

This razor will end up being donated to the SRP monthly giveaway, once it is finished, and someone will own a piece of Workshop history.


Without further ado, here are the videos. I'm hoping I can embed at 480p, but, if not, you might want to double click them to open them in youtube.

NOTE: I can't get them embedded at 480p, SRP auto-embeds them with default settings. I highly recommend double clicking each video, and watching them at 480p. The additional quality helps a lot!
