Cleaned, Polished, Tips and Handles Painted.....


Hi Steve

That's really great work, well done

All the best

Cheers for the Compliments Fellas, i have invested some money in some tools and bits and bobs as i would like to start offering a razor cleaning and repair service, don't know if i want to go as far as plating though..........
 

Well it takes a few days to do using various products and techniques, but simplified: first strip the anodising off the razor. Then prime the metal and then give one coat of black. Wait until touch dry then heat it in the oven then just leave for 3 or 4 days.

Giving too many coats gives a soft finish. And if paint is not thoroughly dry before next coat then it won't have a nice finish. Patience is the key
 
brill work steve, also handy to know that some of ropey-looking tipped razors for sale online might be worth a sensible bid, seeing as they are more restorable than we thought

cheers fellas

i have gone through all my collection and done all my reds, blues, black speeds and adjustables, look real nice now....

if anyone has any and doesn't fancy doing it themselves, they can always send them to me and i will give them a thorough clean and polish (i do get good results with my cleaning methods) and then do any painting as required

cheers

Steve
