Thread: Picked up Two to learn on...

So I went to an antique store near my house just to take a look. Found a couple razors in not horrible condition. Thought I might give restoration a go just for the hell of it. The way I see it; even though I don't plan on being a regular restorer. Trying on a couple will teach me how to at least maintain my own razors as well as give me more appreciation for the beauties you guys put up here after you restored em. Plus if I ever do come across an Otto or c-mon HF (god willing) I may just be able to make em shave ready.

So I talked the shop keep down to just over $10 for each razor, spent a little over $20 for both...

The first one is a Torrey (around 5/8), the blade has some decent scratches that will take some work but the scales are actually in near mint condition. Not sure what the scales are made of but that is some odd yellow and black pattern...

Second one is a Bengall (7/8), The blade is not as bad as the pictures are showing and should actually be pretty easy to clean up. The scales will have to be replaced though, they are just tore up.

So, how did I do?
