Straight Razor

[just bob]

Way off topic here but not much new being posted. Found this Red Imp / Case straight razor in a junk box at a flea market with broken handles. A very nice guy has posted an excellent, step by step tutorial on YouTube about bringing these back to life. The only handle material I had that was long enough is the candy stripe I got from Kaleb and I had to go on line to find the tiny washers you use to put these back together with. Kind of a fun project. The original handles were about .0110 the candy stripe is .0125. Not a big difference.
I'm going to buff and shine the handles to get the fine scratches out. I am not going to spend 4 hours restoring the blade to split hair as the shown in the YouTube video.

I was taking pictures and decided to go ahead and include this.

Very nice job!

I've always had good luck using OOOO grade steel wool for taking scratches out of celluloid. Looks like the handles should shine up nice.
