Fred Fenney Restore
I'm very sorry, I meant to add a photo of what it would look like when done. Right now it has small cap screws holding it together!

Here is a C T Bingham, Late F Fenney blade I plan on restoring soon. It reads "In For The Prize At The Exhibition 1853" with Tally Ho & the fox in the center.

Sanding or buffing that nice old blade would be a sin. Just my opinion though.

Buffing or sanding on an old piece like that is a no-no! Thanks.

I knocked off at 3 PM today, jumped in my lil camo golf cart and went to the mailbox and to my delight, the Greaves and Son Sheafworks razor I sniped earlier this week on Ebay was there. I drove straight back to the shop, mixed a tall Bombay Sapphire and tonic, and got to work. Obviously the scales were toast, so I removed them. I got the blade shined up and removed the major pits with 320 grit greaseless, and then polished it up with Emory, Brown Corsican, White Diamond, and jewelers rouge buffing compounds. I have several pair of new buffalo horn scales on hand for just these eventualities, fired up the 1 x 30 belt sander, fitted up the scales, got her mounted and was inside by 5:30 soaking the norton stones. With any luck I will shave with this bad boy tomorrow morning Not sure if I am getting better at this , but the gin and tonics didn't hurt ... lol
