Thread: A Case for restoration?

mmm send it to me for disposal;p

That looks like an easy, not to intense cleanup job. Basically I would hone and shave, then decide if I like the shave it gave me, clean it up and keep or sell.

I agree with janivar, but sent to me. the postage will be less

I'd go with option 1. Option 2 won't work, because Case razors are amazing shavers. For option 3, well, I don't think you'll get her to look much better, and the risk of damaging the covered tang while trying to repair it is pretty high.

If you decide to go with selling it shoot me a PM and we might could work something out. I like the style of the blade and I've found Case razors to be good shavers.

Clean, sharpen and use for shaving. I have no idea on monetary value. To me the value of something tends to be determined by answering the questions: Is it something interesting? Do I like it? Can I use it?
I know people get great pleasure from restoring things to new condition, from automobiles to razors. I think, if possible, old things should be repaired to working condition and used as intended, the wear and other signs of age tell a story.

Sorry to get a little off-topic, but that razor looks damn-near identical (pretty much everything except the tail) to a Boker I recently bought and restored:


I've seen the same scales on various razors so that's not as surprising, but the shape of the razor seems, in my limited experience, pretty specific with the covered tang, notch, and maker's etch; the "B" on mine seems to be the same font used on the Case. Any explanation? Coincidence or were Case and Boker linked?

EDIT: If shooter wants to see how it turned out w/ some new scales:
