Another happy customer! This time it was 2 brand new Japanese razors which the client couldn't successfully sharpen. Turns out both needed significant work to apex the bevel. Both are now hair whittling sharp and should provide years of great shave!

Another week, another world war 2 era razor restored. This one's from Germany, with quite a bit of rust on either side and both pins. The razor was fully disassembled, cleaned, polished, sharpened and pinned. Hopefully it will provide great service to the owner's son for the next 50 years!
