Thread: Hey everybody!

So I am new to restoring straight razor but I am not new to using a straight razor. That being said, I bought two razors but I am want to make sure I restore them right.
One is a "Griffon" and the other is a "KROPP."

I read somewhere that you can use 'scrubbing bubbles'. Not sure if it is a good idea.
Also do I need to look into taking my razors apart? And can you use a soapstone for honing?

I am on a budget so any tip to help I would appreciate. I love to DIY so no issues there. Even though I am lady I know my tools I grew up in grandpa workshop.

Someone mentioned I use a polish (Flitz or Maas metal polish) but I read somewhere to don't use a polish. As far as the scales go they are fine I am not look for fancy (no offense to anybody) at the time later on I may. I read I could sand and I believe polish not sure.
All I am looking for is help and getting my razor clean, nice, and hopefully to use them.

I tried to attach the pictures but for some reason or another I was unable to so just check out my profile pictures. Sorry.

Thanks
