Thread: Greaves Restore

My first total restoration replacing only new brass rod for the pins. Razor was in fair condition I guess delaminating at the pivot end and a concerning crack at the wedge pin runing to the front of the scale Epoxy worked great just very dry and flaking neatsfoot bath infact that was my first step before I un-pinned . the blade had been put to a grinder prior to my getting it and after allot of hours sanding I just decided to retreat. Im real happy with the results, evan though the dome washers dont sit well on the scales the pins are tight. The work was really enjoyable. I included a before pic as well

Thanks tat2ralfy and other members for the help and encouragement
