Thread: A Robeson in the Wild

I'm happy to say that my wife actually pays attention to me when I'm blathering on about my razors...and is feeding the RAD. A couple of nights ago she was looking at the local estate sale pages and came across two that had at least one razor in the pictures. I had time on my hands this morning and decided to hunt out the one that was closest to me.

I had to endure the torture of seeing a Wosty with large chip out of the blade and, even worse, a Wade & Butcher which had been the subject of experimentation for spine alteration by a grinder who I can only assume suffered from anger issues. Yet, among a number of very sad looking Sheffield razors I found an American blade that I think may be worthy of salvage!



I know that it isn't anything rare or particularly desirable but its seems to be a great candidate for my first attempt at a restoration, particularly since I have all of $11 invested. Thankfully the mentor I found to introduce me to the wonderful world of honing invited me back for lessons in restoration. Now to find time to go soak up all of the knowledge I can!
