What's considered the basics is highly variable. There are gentlemen using only hand tools (zero power, period), and those who say you need a lot of stuff just to make scales, link.
Me? I have no idea yet, but I'm learning stuff. I have only one razor in the restoration process. It's not finished, but I've made a lot of progress without anything more powerful than elbow grease and sandpaper. Next: scale making!
Happy shaves,

I'm with Mike on this.
I think Mike needs to get his spoons out and set that quote into stone
