Wagner restore

I don't know anything about this particular brand, but it came along way from the condition I recieved it in. There's still some marks on the length of the blade I couldn't get out, didn't want to press my luck any further and accidentally damage the razor still being new to this and all.

Scales aren't anything to write home about, just the most decent ones I could find in my project pile.

The blade itself measures 9/16 and honed up beautifully :D

Nice sanitary beginnings. Good job. Let's see some more...

Fun, isn't it, Mike. Nice wok.
I'm working on three projects. 1) A Kropp, polished and honed. Shaves like a dream. Actually in better shape than described. As I honed this one myself only on a barber hone (I don't yet have a Norton) I have been quite pleased with myself (pride comes before the fall). 2) A Torrey with a barber's notch, more rough than the Kropp, was disappointed when I first saw her, but she polished up nice, still two spots, no longer dark, they shine, but I can still see them, doubt I can get them out. Almost shave ready, but not quite. 3) A Puma. Got taken to the cleaners on this one. Not near as nice as the ebay listing and photos. Cleaned up decent, still some spots, but has a chip right at the tip of the blade (undisclosed of course). Needs lots more work.
I've used a Dremel with Craftsman polish rouge, MAAS, and Flitz on the Torrey and Puma. Improvement, but I may need something more stout. Trying to be careful of too much pressure and overheating the blade.
I haven't tried any re-scaling. Right now that is beyond me.

Nice job Mike!
Another inspiration for those of us still trying to decide if we should try at least one....or ...two... :D
