[QUOTE="Shangas, post: 4288195, member: 360"]Bought this online about two weeks ago and spent this week restoring it... [ATTACH=full]344868[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]344869[/ATTACH] Took a lot of work to restore it (mostly rust removal, cleaning, sharpening the blades and lubricating the mechanism), and I had to teach myself how to use it because I couldn't find a video online, or any instructions, but I got there in the end. I shaved with it yesterday. I think I prefer my cutthroats, but --- it works! It's a bit crude, perhaps, but it works. Not bad for something over 90 years old. I've always been fascinated by these old single-edged razor sets, and just had to try one out for myself. Restoration process isn't quite finished, though. Next step is to make a replacement strop.[/QUOTE]
