Thanked: 0Need some advice after I heard my husband cursing in the bathroom.
He dropped his favorite razor and he is a good bit upset. I know I have come on here in the past and found some restorers to help us out. I am going to post a few pictures of the broken one. I also need to find someone who is comfortable and dependable with older blades. My husband recently inherited his grandfathers razor collection. His grandfather died 30 years ago and his gram kept these in her medicine cabinet all these years and before she died asked that he have these. So these are very sentimental to him, but they do need work. He is so hesitant to send these out but he is just not comfortable doing any work on them himself. So I need recommendations for crafters on here who are comfortable with working with these and very reliable. For my life I cannot remember who we have used in the past. It has been a while.
So I have one ED Wusthof Solingen 1933 Tridente Standard. This has a severe chip off the tip and we understand it would need major grinding and can never be the same as it was. Not sure how much saving can be done for this one, but its his favorite. Scales and blade are in VERY good shape other than the huge massive chip.
He also has a GEBR.Meis Wald-Solingen Diamond King. It has a tiny chip on the end of the blade. Probably repairable. Other than that the blade and scales are in good shape.You can see the chip bottom right. Pretty small.
We also have 4 of his grandfathers blades. My husband thinks most just need polishing and sharpening. All are older blades. Geneva Cutlary out of New York, A wade and butcher with a funny looking curvy bow stamp, One stamped ERN with a crown and a scimitar ( still sharper than heck I just discovered) and a W.M. Elliot and company.
So whats fixable you think? Are all these worth having worked on? Any recommendations on who to send these to?
