Ok guys, I have decided to jump into the slightly murky and quite possibly messy world of straight razor restoration. (Damn this forum and its inspirational value!).

I have noticed that there have been threads that have discussed this topic, for example: ‘Shop Tools’; however, many of these threads focus on a certain area -- in the case of ‘Shop Tools‘: power tools.

I am interested to know if anybody can give a more detailed list of what I would need to undertake complete restoration projects. I would like some thoughts on the basic tools and the more advanced equipment. I’m currently building a small workshop anyway -- dust extraction is a pain in the neck -- so any advice on equipment is much appreciated.

If this question has already been asked I apologies; any links to the threads, however, would be appreciated.

I’ll post a picture of the workshop once it is finished -- hopefully furnished with some of the equipment yet to be suggested!

I’m based in the UK; however, I’m sure I could ship from abroad if necessary.

I look forward to hearing your suggestions,
Paddington.

P.s. I originally registered with this forum to ask about categorize of collections; now look what you have me posting!
