Thread: Pitting on the blades.

Ok guys, I thought as much. It's just when seeing some of the pictures of restored razors here, one gets to think, that miracles happen and some of you can take a razor back in time, to remove rust.

Perhaps these pictures just show prime state razors without pitting, or are taking with really good photographers, or both. 😄

I'll just trust, that my own restoring is good enough 😄 and I'll practice photo shots 😉

Part of having an excellent restore is starting with a good razor to begin with. With time and experience you learn what to look for before doing a restore, but the only way to get that experience is to restore some that are garbage. Worst of all, sometimes a blade will have what looks like a little speck of pitting, but when you go to sand it you suddenly find out there was a whole lot of pitting right under the surface.

A little pitting adds some character to the blade.
