Light Clauss "restore"

Hey there!
Picked up a nice Clauss at the local Flea Market. It was in decent shape, just a bit of rust.

Took it through the grits up to 2500, finished with Mothers.
Scales are Vulcanite.

Nice! They are great shavers.
I have the same GP scuttle as you.

Thought I'd report back after the shave. She took a fantastic edge. Very smooth, comfy/close shave. I think we're gonna be good friends. :)

I'm a bit late to the party, but my Clauss razors are the ones I got first, and will be the very last I part with and only because I've stopped breathing!

That Clauss cleaned up real nice, and should keep you well shaven for decades!

There is a Clauss razor club on SRP.... I believe I called it "Coming out of the Clausset" or some such.

Regards

My Clauss U.S.M.C. stamped razor is in my rotation. It shaves great.

They are wonderful shavers, I bought mine at a meet up and have only stropped it lightly. SRNewb I do believe you will be friends mine has found a pretty secure spot in my line up. Nice Restore, and ENJOY!!

Just found this guy, I have put an edge on it and nothing else. I don't know what direction to go in with this one so I might just leave it the way I bought it (except for the honing). Says "MOORE'S BEST" on the blade. It shaves great!!Attachment 233974

Yeah, unless there was active rust on that I can't see in that pic, I'd just shave with that. Beautiful razor.

Tiny bit of rust by the pins, but I just dropped a little oil on it. This razor took an edge like I was really good at honing (insert joke here).

Those are the best!
If you don't want to dismantle the razor, use a bit of oil and some dental floss to get in there around the pin. It won't get rid of all the rust, but it's better than nothing. Just use care since it's shave ready.

I didn't think about the floss. Thanks SRNewb.
