My first blade restoration
This afternoon was restoration time. I have a Landell 6/8 - bought on ebay - who was waiting for a complete restoration: the scales are bent and have bug bites, the blade has pitting, tarnish, dirt and water marks (see pics below); the blade was touching the scales at the head... not in a really bad state, but she needed to be taken care of...
Drilled the pivot pin, removed the scales, got to the Dremel (yes, I was VERY careful not to break or overheat the blade) and healed the blade... it is not a mirror finish, but almost...
Now, I just need to find some new scales... I have one set of Dovo Micarta spare scales... but maybe, if I am able to find some nice wood in Geneva - or at least in Europe - I will try to make new scales myself...
And now, the razor porn:
