Thanked: 23Firts attempt at razor restoration. Advice requested.
I ordered two used razors on ebay. Compared to most used on ebay these look like they are in pretty good shape. No huge dings in the edges and not a lot of rust. They have what looks like black plastic handles. Also, one razor box comes with them. Not sure the significance of the box. The razors belonged to the seller's grandfather. They were passed to his father and then to him. I've considered maybe this will be one of those stories where I end up with special razors. Doubt it though. What I plan is to try cleaning and polishing the blades and making new handles. The biggest area I need help in is restoring the blades. What rust removal products and methods do you guys use? I have lots of Dremel tools and accessories. Not sure if they will help with restoring the blade though. I have made knife handles and a couple razor handles. I made handles by cutting/shaping/polishing the scales, drilling a couple of holes and using a pin/screw for the pivot and end of the handle. I've never used standard pins.
Any threads, videos, book recommendations? I want to learn tips and "tricks" that help. I feel I'm more in the dark where the blade is concerned. Any help is extremely appreciated.
