Thread: Restoration Supplies

I have been picking up bits and pieces of where everyone is buying their restoration supplies. Bill has some in his restoration disk, etc. Wouldn't it be a good thing to have a comprehensive list of vendors ? Catigorize it into wood, pin material, liner material, etc.?

Gregg,
I think that it would be a great idea. Somtimes this stuff is hard to find.

I guess I will try and piece together some sources I have found and figure out a way to post them.

Gregg,
Once you get you list made up I can show/tell you how to upload it into say the "help files" like I do the Ebay Names this way someone won't have to search thru the thread to find it. If you will put it on a Word Document it will upload real easy.

I nominate the following 2 sources:
www.widgetsupply.com <-- for Dremel goodies including the abrasive flap wheels
and
www.microfasteners.com <-- for brass washers that go with brass rod stock and stainless washers to go with the nickel rod stock.

Calssic shaving do spares for DOVO straights: http://www.classicshaving.com/page/page/523001.htm

shouldn't this be a sticky?

Is there a chance that this thread can be updated and expanded? Since getting into straights I have been toying around with repairing and restoring. I have some "junk" razors that I have to practice on. I am looking for a list of tools and venders to get started.

I have read the wiki and picked up some info from there but those of you who restore could you provide a list of basic tools to start?

Is it safe to assume that I should start with removing and replacing scales before moving on to blade work?
