    Default D. Peres Restoration

    I made a thread when I started this restore, but it seems to have been lost to time. So, I'll put up a recap here. I bought a D. Peres blade on the bay, sans scales. It was black and crusty.

    Found a crack near the heel while sanding, modified the shape a bit.

    Sanded and polished it up.

    And finally, this past week, I was able to sit down and scale 'er up.

    Walnut scales, brass pins, steel washers, and a clear polycarbonate wedge made from an eyeglass lens. I'll post some shots of the finished product from different angles later. Shaved with it twice now. I generally prefer a heavier blade, but this little rascal is a nice easy shaver!

    Nice work. Good save on the cracked heel. I had a Barbers Pet recently that I had to do the exact same thing to.

    How did you fix the heel like that? I also have a razor with a crack near the heel and would like to solve it the same way as you did.

    Nice razor!

    Very slowly. I used a dremel with a barrel shaped stone. Dremel on lowest speed. Cup of ice water next to me. Buzz, buzz, buzz, dip, repeat. Never even let it get warm to the touch.
