Thread: Razor restoration pictorial

So here we are at the end of a successful restore.
We put some hone were on her as we set the new bevel, not much, on average maybe a shade less than a millimeter on the spine. The bevels are relatively thin with even distribution which makes for easy maintenance.
But lets have a close look at the rear face photos, do you the flat spot on the spine widens a bit at the toe?... again... maybe I have a heavy hand at the end of my back stroke lol… actually we may have spoken too soon earlier, in fact she does have a slight warp near the toe. This is one tell tail sign that the blade has a warp, so when scouting for razors you may want to bear that in mind; it’s not the most reliable indicator, a good honemiester will “hone around it” and the hone were will be even.

And if you are still curious… the shave was excellent, and frankly she embarrassed a few of my branded razors (I won’t mention names)…
As you collect, restore and hone razors, every now and then, after the shave as you run your hands over your new face, you will ask your self “How did they do it, such a smooth and keen edge?”… And then you answer “whatever, glad I found this one”.

That’s it folks, Thank you for your patience in reading this long post. Indeed I hope you’ve all fund something interesting in this presentation, be it my cheesy hummer, my less than prefect advice or 3rd rate razor porn captured by my aging Nikon.

Have a good one my friends.

Thanks for the interesting thread and great job on the razor. Shows what can be done with the knowledge, skill and perseverance.
