Thanked: 1Restoring a W & B Chopper
Hello, you princes of razor restoration, you kings of cutlery:
I recently bought a W&B chopper off eBay. It's not perfect, but it's pretty full @ 9/10 of an inch. I hope that it's salvagable, honeable, and (soon to be) usable!
Does anyone have any suggestions about treatment of the following problems before I muck it up?
1. Minor rust - The spine has a patch, and there's some rust where the razor sits in the scales. I was thinking that Maas and an electric toothbrush might help. Other ideas?
2. Honing - There are 1 mm chips out of the blade. It will need expert honing. I mucked up a TI that I got on eBay, so I won't trust myself to try again. Is Lynn still accepting blades to hone? Is there anyone else out there who will hone a razor for some $$$?
Ideas, gents?
Thanks,
Dan
