[Work in Progress] My first restoration and scale building
Hi,
I'm BrickBag and this is an ongoing report about my first ever razor restoration. I have no experience whatsoever with restoring and honing blades. I also am not some one who is into do it yourself, but I wanted to try and get some experience with these kinds of things. This thread will document my efforts(updated irregularly) with pictures and maybe video's.
THE RAZOR
My girlfriend bought me this J.A. Hellman Eskiltuna "Sweden 26" razor, which came in a Veni Vidi Vici box(I think it's kinda cool, but a shame it's not the original):

It is 5/8", hollow ground, round tipped(correct me if I'm wrong). With white scales, which feel like plastic, so I guess it's celluloid. The blade is engraved with an eagle with a straight razor beneath it and the text "Skydds Märke", which means registered trademark in Swedish. I, however, can't find J.A. Hellman at the Swedish trademark register. So if any one can tell me what the decade it was made I'd be very happy.
