Thread: Guess I am going to learn how to do restorations

Just purchased a lot of 12 razors to restore. Picked up a hibbard rattler, waterville, HB Co Germany, HH Hill and a Kanark and a few others

We need pics.!

There's all kinds of restore tricks in the workshop thread, What are u working on

For some reason I have no tool bar to add pics just the arrow and two quote bubbles

Odd. Something not right. Are u using phone or computer. Are u using the full site, or something like Tap a talk.

You have to click on either "reply" or "reply with quote" first.

I get my sandpaper from Caswell.

Kanark? Is that possibly Kanner? Those are good razors. Kanner also made a clever stropping machine.

As they say, Pics or it didn't happen.
You can find a write-up on installing pics around here somewhere.

my just purchased pile to restore

We can only see three of them.
There's hardly any kind of work needed on these ones. I mean, WD40 + "Bar Keeper's Friend" (according to chat GPT it's close to what we use over here, a mixture of soap and clay) will do the trick on every one of them.

Point of rust ? WD40 and scratch with a carbon blade.
Once done, BKF the thing without being too rough and off to the hones.

And as for the hones, cf the other post on coticule.

It's easy enough. I feared another new box of tetnus

(I've given the same advice times and times again in French, it's actually my first time I give it in English )
