Thread: First Restoring on only razor

Hi all,

I have been inspired to restore my one and only razor.
When first purchased I had to remove a lot of rust and then I had a knife maker sharpen it, so it turns out I have been shaving with a non shave ready razor for about 6 months now. Cant wait to have a good razor.

Looks like I will be using the clippers for a while till I get the razor done.

Here is the disassembly.

One of the ivory sides broke while taking it apart, it is pretty dry to begin with. Sucks, but I can use it in my jewelry. I think I will replace the broken one with either a different kind of bone, ebony, or even maybe flower pedals in resin.

The blade will need a lot of cleaning. The razor is a 172 J.A. Henckels Solingen Zwilling Swerk.

Oh I cant find my digital camera so I had to use the computers.
