Thread: Bill's Straight Razor Restoration Guidelines

Bill,

I finally went through the new restoration CD this weekend. Awesome!

The videos are priceless. I wish you had them on the first one.

Guys, if you are just starting out in restoration then you really can't appreciate the storehouse of information that Bill provides on the CD. Discovering the methods and tools by experimentation would cost 100 times more, take years and be a hell of a lot more frustrating. I've got the bills to prove the cost of experimentation and I started with Bill's first CD. The learning curve with this one would be much easier.

If you don't have one then you should get it. If you have it and like me did not go throught it yet, then do yourself a favor and at least watch the videos. Then read the rest.

I will be going through it a many more times to pick up the little details that slip through.

Can't wait to try out the stuff I learned this weekend.

Although I am new to straight razor shaving, I have a very strong interest in the restoration of them and have just placed an order for Bill's fine CD.

I can't wait to get started!

Hopefully some of my old skills as a locksmith will come in useful, though I am a bit "rusty" , so maybe my skills will get a polish too along with the razors

Thanks to you all for your inspiration and willingness to share your wealth of knowledge so freely.

Best wishes!

Man, I keep going through this CD and picking up more information every time I do. Bill this is really a nice work. Putting together a wish list on tools that keeps growing. Love all the belts and motors......now you know why I don't make much.... I think anyone into making scales or restoring straight razors should own this CD before they start on any project.

Hello....

Where can I get this CD?

Go to http://www.billysblades.com/Straight%20Razor%20Book.htm and click on the spinning barber's pole at the bottom of the page. It should still be linked to an SRP member deal. Make sure you include your SRP nickname in your PayPal message.
In case you're REALLY new to straight razor shaving, you should also get Lynn's dvd. Just pm him here (nickname is adjustme69). The DVD contains all the info about buying, basic restoration, honing, using and maintenence that a newb should have.
Or you could get both. I own Bill's CD and someone loaned Lynn's DVD to me and they're both great products.

I already bought the Lynn's DVD (Im waiting for it)

But I want to restore some razors that I have....

Thank you,

I just ordered one...
