Thread: Lion Tortoise razor set

SO I thought I would show you what is going on with the first razors I am cleaning up. They are from LION and are tortoise scaled as they pass the hot needle test. They have worked spines and were covered in rust. I mean covered. SO I have set out to take them back to useable since i like them and they are well on the way. I wanted to remove the scales but I see a crack in one scales end so I am worried about breaking the scales since he has another like this with shattered scales. I have no idea how that happened but it was sad. I could probably do it carefully but I don't want to chance it. They are also full hollows so I have to be careful about metal removal. I think they can go a touch further but not much. I will focus on leveling the surfaces to make a near mirror. You can see the progression below.

Notice you can still see the etching. And the second one has not yet been completed so you can see what it looks like after removing the rust. I will post again when both are done.
