i picked this razor up for £3 at an antique dealer, blade and scales are in good condition so i thought i'd use it to help teach myself to restore blades.
i'm a student sharing a house with 5 others so i dont have any power tools to help me so i've been using wet and dry paper over yeaterday and today, starting at a 80 grit and then working up to a 1200 grit, then using toothpaste for a slight polish at the end (dad used to on our silver at home) its now pretty nice, a bit of pitting that i've left because i quite like the look of it and i havnt given it a complete mirror finish partly because doing it with wet and dry paper is a pain in the backside and partly because i like it how it is now. i havnt toutched the scales, ive just done the blade. here are a few before and after pictures, let me know what you think!

before:







after:







its a full wedge i think with barbers notch, i know nothing at all about the maker or how old it is except that someone with the same name was a cutler in the same place between 1860-1870.

now onto honing, i have a 1.2k waterstone to set a bevel and have a 4000/6000 and a 12k stone coming in the post.
