What to do first (Joseph Smith & Sons)
Hey all,
I've just acquired a Joseph Smith & Sons "Celebrated Razor" 3415, 7/8 wedge with a barber point.
The blade is in good condition with a few stained spots and a nicked edge.
I've been slogging through the plethora of information at this site (it's great btw) and I have a few questions.
Do I take care of the nicks first? I know Undream didn't in his awesome resto movies.
And when sanding the blade, it's almost in really good condition, do I risk wrecking that with a lower grit, or can I get away with removing what little pitting there is with a heck of a lot of high grit sanding?
If you have any other comments or suggestions I'd greatly appreciate it. This is my first restoration attempt.
