    Default My first restoration!!!!

    Hey everyone I made a post earlier this week on a razor I found at my moms house she thinks it could be my grandfathers but she's not really sure anyway the markings on it say J.VENEZIA PASSAIC,N.J. & the other says black beauty no one that saw the post heard of it so I decided to try to restore it & after watching videos & reading posts I thought I was ready I never did any metal restoration before but I'm a fast learner and pretty handy with tools so I actually just went to harbor freight & got some buffing wheels & some polishing compounds they sell ( I known I just lost some of ya after the mention of harbor freight lol I know they don't have the best stuff but I thought I might be a good place to start) well worst case I just lost $30 I'm still way below the cost of a good new razor so I started with the green polish they only have color code but I used the green to clean up the blade to just see how bad it was well I was surprised that it came out ok after that & I was able to see some of the stains were gonna need something more abrasive so I switched to a new wheel and loaded it up with the black compound did that for a little bit and it got pretty much all the harder to get marks off blade then I went back to the green then finished it off with white compound on blade & scales I was pleased for my first attempt i could always go back with a greaseless compound to get some of the spots I couldn't get with the harbor freight stuff next I will hone the blade 1 bread knife it 2 set bevel 3 finish it but I need to get some stones I have a Arkansas fine & medium but seems like a lot of people use wet stones might have to invest I thought I might be able to bread knife it on the fine not sure though well feel free to comment on it thanks for reading
