This is the razor I picked up over the weekend at a local antique store. I came across it while I was looking for a DE. Apparently it's no good shaving wise, but I've had fun working on it thus far. I'm planning on putting it and some other vintage shaving supplies in a shadow box on the wall in my bathroom.

I haven't taken the scales off because I don't know if I want to get that deep into it. I'm a little afraid of getting them off, and then not being able to get them back on. I'm hoping that I can just sand and shine them up a little while they're still on the blade. We'll see.

So far I'm in about $20 for the razor and sandpaper from 150 grit - 2000.

This is what the whole razor looked like when I got it.





This is the opposite side that I've been hitting with the 150 grit to try and get all the rust and pitting out.




I think that some of the scratches and dents are going to stay. I've been sanding on this thing for a while and although the main stains and marks are gone, these don't seem to be going anywhere.

After looking through the gallery here in the restoration forum, I kind of like the blades that still have a few age marks on them. Makes them look like they've actually been used, and shows the age some.

I'll update with more pictures as I go, and when I get done with the whole project.

Please comment. I'd like any kind of positive or negative feedback.
