1900s Straight Razor Restoration - I'm shaving with this

#restoration #asmr
Antique Muschel straight razor restoration.
Hello everyone,
In this story I restore an antique straight razor.
As usual I brought it to the best possible point in sharpening - dangerous sharpness.
I chose walnut for the handle and used brass for details.
Also in addition I made a walnut and brass stand. The brass part of the stand is a baroque figure that I bought it a long time ago. I restored it and used for the stand, you will see...
At the end of my work, of course, I tried it myself. Perfect result !!!
I love shaving with a razor and that's how I shave every Sunday.
I hope you enjoy watching and have a good time.
I will be glad if you like the video and subscribe.
Hope to see you in another story.
With my deepest regards.

Watching you work on your projects is so calming and relaxing. Using a straight razor is a skill most men don't have now. I like that you replaced the broken handle with recycled walnut rather than the original ivory or bone. Congratulations.

I've been given my great great grandfather's razor. It has thin ivory scales still intact. If I want to take it apart to clean it up and put it back together how should I delicately grind away the pin heads so I don't crack the thin ivory?

[@byOldHand]

if the handle is not broken, I think you can clean it and use it without taking it apart.

[@JulianA-ui8cz]

Another languid view of a whole process, start to finish, through your masterful eyes. I treat myself to one of your video gifts each day. I too know the pleasure of a straight razor shave, free from disposable plastic. I appreciate the slower process, from the occasional hone and regular skilful strop, to the mindful short strokes across one’s face. I liked the sneak peep at the start of your vintage wristwatch. Using and restoring vintage hand tools is my main ancient love, but I’ve a treasured collection of vintage mechanical watches, pocket watches and antique clocks. Watch repair needs specialty tools that are beyond my workshop, but restoring an antique clock movement is very achievable - with your skills, if you’ve never tried, I recommend the pleasure of bringing the living tick-tock back to a handsome antique clock!

[@byOldHand]

Julian thank you very much for this beautiful comment. ı'm glad you interested in watches. I'm suggesting you to search jaquet Droz, his watches and automates. He has a masterpiece "Writer" You shoul see,you will love

[@JulianA-ui8cz]

Thank you Sir, for the recommendation to Jaquet Droz. I just watched The Writer in action, which clearly took miniature mechanical engineering to an unimagined height. Where function and beauty walk gracefully, hand in hand. Something that I see you deeply appreciate in how you produce in your workshop. And something that underpins other small workshops, all around the world - my own workshop included. Skill with one’s hands is a gift, but takes an entire lifetime to express. The artistry of the craftsperson is a long journey.

[@byOldHand]

Julian such a beautiful explanation about being a craftsman. I 'm so happy to be able to share my journey with all of you. Great to see you here and I'm glad you enjoyed meeting JDroz

Der Rücken des Rasiermessers liegt beim schleifen immer auf. Dadurch garantierst du den richtigen Winkel. Belgier besser mit Wasser, bei Öl neigen sie dazu zu verstopfen.
