Grandfathers razor restore step by step
The other day I posted about 3 old razors I found . Well one of those razors was my grandfathers. It is a Geneva Cutlery. So today I set out to restore the razor and post pics of the step by step process.
Here is the razor unpinned . It was held in with a horseshoe nail bent over! Lol well as you can see this blade and the scales are nasty.

I then proceeded to sand the scales with 320 grit wet/dry. I don't know what in the world was on the inside of the scales but it has the consistency of dirty varnish. I sanded up to 1000 and here they are.

I then pinned the wedge in.

I then started on hand sanding the blade. It was pretty bad. These pics are after 200 grit wet/dry. there are some pits left but to get them completely out would be to regrind the blade and that's not what I'm after.
