During the process of selling many "rescued" or restored
razors back in the mid ninety's on Ebay, I was bombarded by written requests on how to do the work. I was
spending more time answering questions through emails than I was selling anything. As much as
I like being a nice guy, this was not how I wanted to spend all of my
time. By using a Web format, I found I could get more detailed and
provide an understanding for those who wanted a basic understanding for
a razor "rescue".
"If you
had a nice straight razor on display that was marred by surface rust or
it has dull and scratched handles, of what value was it? If it doesn't
look good, I say, fix it… " If you are a person who likes to tinker with
things and wanted to fix your own straight razors, then you
probably wound up with my original CD. It had a generous 74 megabytes of
information on it. This new version has 287 megs, or three and a half times the
information of the original, including over an hour of video.
You will really be pleased with the new look and, especially the new
information. This new CD covers all these previously uncovered subjects, in addition to
the edited original information. Look for these subjects...

I will run you through the
process, beginning to end, on how to restore that rusted treasure you
found on eBay or at the flea market. Even the one that Grandpa left you.
So, get ready to pull them out of that forgotten drawer in the garage
and get ready to make them usable again.
The goal
will be to, as
gently as possible, remove rust, scratches, stains, broken handles or
blades, crud, and whatever else is necessary to "rescue" the
razor from
an eternity of shadows and darkness... or the town dump. What I am
working
looking for is the day you hand one of these razors to a buddy
and he can not tell it was restored unless you told
him... or her. Our aspiration would be to look at one and say, "Wow,
someone really took good care of this razor". You will not be
able to work miracles, but with a little practice, you can make some
really nasty-looking razors fit right in with just about any collection.
Get your
copy now! I hope that by providing this restoration instruction CD, I
will help many of you to enjoy your straight razor collection for what you
hoped your collection could be.
Contact me by email if you want to pay for a copy by personal check
or money order. If you prefer to pay by PayPal, just add this item to

Thanks, and happy trails......
