1st Restoration A German J&W Special

This is my first restoration of a razor, one of the 5 me and my good lady picked up in Norwich last weekend. We paid £20 for five razors. I found this on for sale on this site at $245 so even with the resin scales I think I'm onto a winner it, not that I will sell it.

It took about 4 hour on the mops to get the blade back to this and an hour or so with T-Cut and polish on the scales. The only thing I'm struggling with is finding 1/16 brass washers I have spent the morning going around the fixing specialist and model shops but still no joy as of yet. If anyone can help that would be great.



Before:

Nice work. It looks like a beauty and should shave like it. Good luck with the hardware.

Nice work man. The only place I have found the washers is at microfasteners.com. Other sites have them it pinning kits, but if you plan on doing more than this I'd just go ahead and order some from MF. They go pretty quickly.

Very nice in deed, congrats on the score. Keep us posted on the rest of the blades you got.

Great score !

Very nice. Thanks for posting.
