    Default 3 old razors

    While cleaning out my enclosed front porch I ran across 3 old razors that I bought 25 years ago that I forgot I had. All are in need of restoration.

    UPDATE
    Here are two of the three cleaned up and honed. The Robert Klass is a beauty but the other although a beauty also I just can't get sharp. It's beyond me and I will send it out.

    I was lucky. I hit both blades with 600/100/1500 and then some polish. I was honing a recent restore anyway so I honed these two also. Just wish I could figure out why I can't get that one sharp

    I had a bengall like that ... sucker just didnt want to co-operate.
    I took it back to a carborundum and rest the bevel ... like agressively ....
    then back to the 1k king and progression
    scary sharp now ... you betcha !

    YMMV

    No not to long. The Robert Klass has a slight frown so I had to even that out and then I honed it. The other one I went back to the hone and it's sharp but the bevel looks like shit. It's not uniform even. It's because the blade has a warp near the heel.
