First ever restoration...
Thought I'd share some pics of my first ever restoration.
This one is far from perfect, and I haven't honed it yet (that's for tomorrow night), but I learnt a lot doing this, as well as developing some callouses on my fingers and a sore arm. But it was the most rewarding thing I have done in a long time. I have another two to restore and can't wait. Before pics here, as well as pics of the other two.

Thanks to all for your feedback and advice, and for this great site.

Congratulations!

Looking good!
It looks like a decent sized blade, too.

Nice job on the razor from the before pics you have done a lot of hand sanding. Nice overall finish and an excellent job for your first try.

Good job!
It really looks nice. I hope to get into restoration soon. It's always exciting to see something nice come out of something that looked really cruddy.
With this being your first one, I am hopeful that I will be able to do a good job too.
