What's up with Australia and Blue Wonders?? Seems like most of them ended up there (very unfortunately for me). Anyways, as vvti said, that's a great razor in great shape. Blue Wonders are really top tier razors, I don't think anyone would argue that. That said, and the fact that it's a family heirloom, I really recommend you get it professionally honed. Learning how to hone is a long process of trial and error, and you really don't want to be doing that with this razor. That'd be like learning how to drive in a Lamborghini.
Lots of guys from this forum live down under, check the classifieds or post a request in the Honing section.vvti713 likes this.

These Blue Wonder razors are a top quality shaver, let alone an Heirloom...
There are pros in AU that do this work, take advantage of that and don't mess that beauty up..

Thank you all for the advice
Sounds like a good idea to get it professionally honed, so I will look around for someone in Aus. to do it for me.

Other than getting the chip out, I wouldnt mess with it too much.

I agree. You can do a lot with dental floss, toothpics, q-tips, and some polish around the pivot. Those scales are celluloid. Nice piece!

It works! I use Maas on the floss. Also, smash a q-tip with a hammer and Maas it up. Works wonders in there between the scales. Originally Posted by gnoils

I'll remember that next time. Unpinning and repinning is hard work. Originally Posted by sharptonn
