My Razor Cleanup

Hi guys just wanted to show you some pics of my first razor i brought back to greater condition its a Gilbert Brothers 9/8 i scored off the bay pardon the average pics they were off my phone i sanded razor using wet and dry starting with 240 grit which i spent nearly 3 hours on then progressed slowly to 400-600-800-1200-1500-2000 then on buffing wheel and a few different compounds.I never changed the scales they are original and still ok i just cleaned them up a little, i then honed razor using Naniwa 1-4-5-8-12K then .5 chromium oxide crayon Livi type and stropped on latigo must say i really love the very smooth shaves this razor gives especially on upward strokes under neck wonderful shaver thanks for watching.Attachment 132703 Attachment 132704 Attachment 132705 Attachment 132706 Attachment 132707 Attachment 132708 Attachment 132709 Attachment 132710 Attachment 132711 Attachment 132712

Hi I used green compound that I got in my dremel kit then a white compound I got from a Bunnings store here in Oz that was it sorry I cant tell you the name im overseas at the moment I found if you spend a good amount of time on wet and dry sandpapers I dont think the compounds will make a massive difference but saying that I want to try jewelers rouge and see if that helps a bit more cheers
