My pinning needs work but over all I'm quite happy.
Nice job. Man that is a nice looking razor. Love the near wedges and wedges.
Good to go for another 100 years, Nic. Nice job!

Great job! Maybe you can explain for the uninitiated what procedure you used to clean up that blade.
In un-pinned the blade then hand sanded on progressively finer grits of sand paper then wet and dry but I used WD40 as a lubricant while sanding. Then I used metal polish (Autosol) and a cloth until I remembered that I had a felt pad for my rotary tool so buffed it with that and Autosol.
Having read the modified engraving tool as a peening hammer thread I realized I could do similar with the carving head attachment for my rotary tool so did :) The pin was one I had in my tool box, I thought it was brass but seems as though it was just a gold colour on the outside. I think I would be better with proper brass rod which I will get for next time.
You've done a great job with this razor. Looks like you resused the original scales, well done.
Excellent job.....you give us newbies hope. I'm just planning my first restoration and this is the type of inspiration that lets me think I can do it. Thanks!
looking good!
Excellent work for 1st attempt.
Look great, nice job! :tu
I concur with all of the above. You did a masterful job getting that old rust bucket to looking good again.
I just love those big blade razors. They look so good restored..
Nice work mate!
