I purchased this at a local TP. for a few bucks.
That is how the front of the blade still looks.
Thanks to the sanding how-to, this
is what the back of the blade looks like now. I should have spent more time on the more abraisive steps, but I got impatient. Should I send this thing off? I reall wanna keep the emblem on the front, but I also want to shave with it. I really dont mind if it looks kinda tarnished like that as long as is shaves and shaves well.
Any advice appreciated, this is my first restoration attempt, I allowed a friend to try for me once, we know where that went. All of this sanding was done by hand. How do you bring out that beautiful shine on a razor of this age?
Probably above my skill level. I know the honing is.
Thanks,
Forrest
