My neighbor is an antique scrounger and seller. He's twenty something years old and is profiting well into 5 figures now. I asked him to keep an eye out for razors and to keep him interested I bought one of his first finds. It was in rough shape but I wanted him to keep looking. Figured for $10 it was a good blade for a first restoration attempt.
As always, comments and suggestions are welcome. Funny comments are appreciated too.
Here's what the thing looked like when he showed it to me.
After some tooth paste and tooth brush work it looked like this.
After the first sanding session ( 180 to 240 grit)... I used a Dremel with a wire brush to clean out the pits. I've decided that they are too deep to remove and still be able to hone the razor given my newbie honing skills.
The second sanding session went to 400 grit.
