Thread: First Try At Restoring A Wosty Razor

Guided by the help of many of my fellow SRP members and, aided by the vast amount of information posted by the experts, I decided to give a razor restoration a shot. I figured it would be best to start with doing everything by hand and also starting on a razor that wasn't too trashed. I had a Wosty Pipe razor that had minor pitting and general rust and gunk on the tang and jimps.

I used 320 wet and dry sandpaper to get the heavy stuff, followed by 600 wet and dry sandpaper and lastly followed it it up with some automobile chrome/metal polish that I sell. All in all I am happy with my first ever attempt. I was thinking of going with different scales, but since the originals are in decent shape, I will probably just re-pin the razor.

ORIGINAL STATE



POST POLISH


This represents about 3 hours of work
