Will these work?
Check out the chips in the heel of the edge. It is also a full wedge.Last edited by cwilbourn1; 06-26-2009 at 05:06 PM.

That could restore nicely. Are you sure it's a full wedge? It just looks a little concave in the photo's.

Thanked: 586That razor isn't too bad at all. It is not a remarkable razor but it isn't bad. Anyone with a 250 of 500 grit stone can get those edge chips out in short order. Because it is a family heirloom I think you would be foolish not to restore it. Of course it ain't no back scratcher but we can't all be as lucky in life as I've been.

Okay I will restore it. Who can do it? I have no stones to do it with. I need a name and a price please. I am new to the restoring business.

Got for it. This is a restore of my own great grandfather's razor:
But since it's heirloom, and not any razor you got in an antique shop, I would leave it in the hands of someone good in restos (that's what I did)

There are a lot of excellent restorers in the Classifieds on this website:
Member Services - Straight Razor Place Classifieds
you can see a lot of good work in the SOTD or the Razor Clubs.
