Thread: First Attempt

Hi all

I recently picked up three razors. All are in need of help in varying degrees. A Dubl Duck Wonderedge, and a Boker 387 Spanish Point, both of which cleaned up reasonably well. There was also a WH Morley and Sons that had a good bit of rust and one missing and one broken scales.


I do not have a buffer or any other major power tools, I set to work with a drill, cloth buffing wheels from the hardware store, various grades of wet dry sandpaper from 320 t0 2000 grit, regular sandpaper from 100 to 220 grit, Mothers Mag Polish, a coping saw and some #0 fasteners. I'm waiting on some brass rod and washers to arrive to properly pin the scales.

Scales are some white oak that I had around. There is still some staining and marks on the blade. Finished in Minwax Light Oak and Poly Clear. Pardon the phone camera photos, it was all I had at the time. Comments/suggestions welcome. Please be gentle, it was the first attempt.
