Thread: My first Swedish Gal!!!!!

Yeah I thought that the title would get ya.....
This is one I just finished polishing out a CV Heljestrand #24 1/8 out of Eskustina Sweden.... When I got this one I thought this would be an easy restore there was no rust, just some staining... Well that proved to be wrong, I don't know what the staining was but it was tuff as nails I started with 220 and got no where so I got some 120 and some 180 and worked on it for one whole night.. Moving upward in grit for a whole week finally put a polish on it the was one tiny spot by the toe that just would not give it up but overall she finally looked like a razor again... I am going to try the Zowada double bevel method on the hones for the first time on this razor, just to see what happens.... I have just been doing
semi-restores lately since I cant get to my shop because of all the snow, this has been crazy up here this year. So if they need more than polish and hones they are going to have to wait
Anyway here is a pic of my new Swedish gal

Looks very nice for work done by a SHUT-IN.

Woah! What a beauty!

I recieved 2 Erik Anton Berg and a P W Söderén&Co today and I'm expecting a few Jernbolaget and Heljestrand any day now!
