Thread: First attempt at a restoration

Nice job, Lynchy.

Might I suggest that you visit your local sign sho and see if they have some off-cuts of acrylic to use for scales.

I've had lots of good results from that method - cheap too

You might want to try some MAAS to the original scales to see how they look. Nothing like an original restore. Bengall's make nice shavers

Scales almost done.

Too cool, my first simple restore was a Bengall a well. It was in excellent shape and needed little work to make it shine. It was a stepping stone to my next restore, a Dubl Duck that I am still working on. The Bengall is on the ebay right now after a few shaves but here is a picture of it;

I guess I was more of an intensive cleaning than an actual restore! I found the simple act of making a razor useful again very satisfying.

You should hang onto that, nice.

I would but I actually have some sleepers that are nicer and my bride is hot about some of my recent purchases so something had to give.

Saitou,

I bought what was available at Bunnings, roughly 100 grit through to 1200.
I also used a kit that attaches to a power drill, it came with a green and a white compound., then I finished it of with a hand polish.

I will try your suggestion and visit the local sign shop.

Cheers,
