So, first off I really want to thank Keith @Gamma his videos is what inspired me, helped me, and got me into razor restoring.
I have restored a few razors now, but this was the first one I did, and I thought I would post it.
It's a Wade & Butcher FBU, 7/8 blade, I got it on ebay a few months back for a decent price.
This is by no means a perfect restoration, but I learned a lot along the way, and I had a lot of fun.
I am proud of the result considering it is my very first restoration.
Here is the razor when I got it in:
Here is the razor after I took it apart:
Sanded the blade and Wedge with 240 and 600 WD:
The scales got treated with hornoxy, this was way overkill, and I had to sand most of it off, it did however fill in a few cracks on the inside of the scales.
The scales were sanded with 240, 600 and 1000 WD, after the sanding I oiled them, this is how they turned out:
And here are some pics after I pinned the razor, I forgot to take pics when I was pinning it together.
