Yes, I bought Bill's CD before he became famous a year or two ago. I did learn a couple of new things, but I don't remember which they were right off. But The CD is well worth the price and if it saves one catastrophe that ruins a decent razor, it's paid for itself already. The CD is NOT a video, but a hyperlinked series of illustrated HTML Web pages, just like a repair site online, only offline.

Another related repair book is The Complete Book of Pocketknife Repair by Ben Kelly, Jr. (ISBN 0-87341-387-3) Many of the techniques are applicable to razors, but many are to do with the various parts that make up the knife handle system, and operating mechanism. Still, I found the parts that address scales could also be applied to making new razor scales using various materials. The parts that deal with steel cleanup are directly applicable to razors. Although power grinders and polishers are shown, the principles can be accomplished with hand tools also.

My interest in restoring razors grew out of a longer-term interest in cleaning up knives. Bill is an accomplished knife-maker, also. What is a razor but a very simple knife .... sort of?
