Salvageable??

Picked up a couple of Frederick Reynolds blades off the 'Bay for a pittance. They need work though. For the restorers here, are these blades usable?

If that chip on the better one doesn't have a crack coming up off of it .... can't be sure from the photo ... it would be alright if there is no crack. The other has a lot of uneven wear. So IMO you could make a shaver out of either but it would be more work than I would want to do. :gl:

Ditto. The first one looks the better option. Hopefully it's not cracked at that chip.

You'd be surprised what can be done if ya try.

this is my second try. If i can do it you go for it. :gl:

The look savable to me...good luck honing the FRs up...lol.:popcorn:

Those are definately salvageable, its going to take a little elbow grease. Heres a before and after, and it shaves excellent!!!

I recently had the life-altering experience of honing my first Frederick Reynolds. Patience is the watchword. God love ya!!:gl:
