Thread: Genco Henry XX Heirloom restore

Another Vintage restore this week for Scott, he sent me his Grandfather razor and asked if at all possible to keep it as close to stock as I could...

I polished out the blade on the buffers

The scales were the real work they were oxidized out to a solid brown..
I took the razor completely apart the sanded off the brown starting at 600 grit worked up through 200 then used the buffer with Plastic polish on it to get the shine back... Finally I used the Novus 1-2-3 plastic system on them...

Re-pinned and ready for service again....

Nice job . Like the black backdrop too.

Hmmm... I feel drawn to the dark side

Very nice work staying true to the original. Always nice see that heirlooms getting a new life with good treatment. Well done!

Very very nice work
It looks like a new old one and there is IMHO a lot to be said for that
Thank you for sharing that

Very Classy.

My dear gossixgun,

You have done an incredible job of transformation with that razor. That is excellent workmanship.

Regards,

Obie

Very solid job.
The novus is better than Maaas alone I take it?

The Novus 1-2-3 is specifically made to take out scratches and polish out Acrylics/Plastics... MAAS works pretty well as an all around cleaner/polish...

Again nice work, some would say you're pretty good at this type of thing.....

Thanks for doing such great work on my Great Grandfather's razor. I cannot wait to shave with it and show my family what it looked like years ago. I appreciate everything.

Thanks,
Scott
