Restoring a Joseph Allen Non XLL
Following on from the hinge play thread, I'm going to post the progress of restoring this Joseph Allen & Sons Non XLL.
This is my first more extensive restoration, so I'm anticipating some mistakes, but hoping to minimise them with advice offered here! I previously did the leg work on a Bengall razor, and had Oz repin it and hone it and tidy it up.
On this project I'd like to keep the antique character of the blade (no chrome shines here). I want to do some light blade work, and darken the etching, learn to pin it, and then have it honed properly.
I'll post some pictures when i can.
