Thread: First Restore

I finished my first restore this evening and wanted to share with everyone. I have learned alot in the process, and have a long ways to go, but I am excited. I didn't get pictures of when I purchased it from a local antique mall ($9.00), but the Wade and Butcher had slight rusting and light pitting. There was also three nicks in the blade. The pinning was the fun part, but the one pin is a little low. I still need to MAAS the blade. Enjoy, and thanks to everyone who posted videos and forum posts on razor restoration.

You did good, She looks like she will polish up just fine.
That's a Wade & Butcher Bow Razor, for $9.00, a steal!!! She's a keeper.
Thanks for sharing.

Good job! Can't wait to see what you do next.

Nicely done for sure and a great find at that price well done~~~~

Just great work, I reckon.
Where did you get the acrylic for the scales - I want some?

I'll say this....If this is what your first restore looks like,....man... I can't wait to see your next ones. Keep em' coming!

Well done, I hope you'll show us more.

Nice work. Especially for your first!
