Restoring a Cheap Antique Shop Razor
Hi,
I have this "Neptune" razor my father bought for cheap at an antique shop. It is in pretty bad shape, I posted about it ages ago before I got sidetracked, I remember people pointing out that the heel needs to be corrected, the bevel is very blatantly uneven, and the thing does not cut at all.
I now have access to a full Metallurgy workshop, which means I have a 1K waterstone, 4k/8k waterstone, microscopes, polishing wheels up to 1 micron, grinders, basically anything I could possibly need to do this, the only thing I don't have is the knowledge of how exactly I should go about it.
I did do a zoom session with gssixgun 2 years ago, but my attempts at sharpening this myself so far have failed so I don't think I absorbed enough skill from that to figure this out completely on my own.
Any advice on where to start with this razor?
