Restoring rusty old straight razor - KNIFE RESTORATION

I saw your second attempt before encountering this video. 1) Great restoration of the blade. 2) The handle is pretty good, especially considering that it's a first/early attempt in doing so. I think most of the the negative (and sometimes rude) reactions is in the video production. A lot of screen time was devoted to showing it with very rough edges, so it left a not-pleasant taste that lingered for a while. It did with me, honestly. But I was waiting to see what the polished end would look like, buffered by the fact that I saw your second video showing another razor restoration. This one polished nicely in the end tho. Kudos.

[@ziggy.bryan.]

Why do people think the handle is ugly? That's so cool

[@GingerDachshund]

By not cutting the handle in half, you created a weak point, by not oiling all the wood prior to putting in the blade, you will allow rust and moisture to come in. Just suggestions

[@johnt4060]

That's why you use DRY wood. And why would he cut the handle in half? Keep in mind it a straight razor for shaving, it's not like he's going to cut down a tree with it.

[@johnt4060]

But nonetheless the handle he made kinda stinks.

[@GingerDachshund]

S U R V I V O R he cut it 3/4s of the way down. Not all the way. That makes a weak point as he wedged the blade in am pinned it. It causes stress.

[@caitlinniederberger6465]

aight bob the builder

[@MegaAwsomo3000]

S U R V I V O R it not being oiled is a problem because as you shave your handle and blade will get wet so it’s not a bad idea to oil it. I do agree he handle kinda sucked and overall looked ugly

[@merjot123]

[@stiqkey]

I too came here from the newer razor video, honestly it's not THAT bad, i'd willingly shave with it. It is a bit on the ugly side though. It's proof of progress if nothing else.

[@slimkt]

I don't hate the handle design as much as other commenters, although the original was still better looking in my opinion. But, from a functionality and practicality standpoint, I can guarantee this thing will not last very long. Neither the wood nor the blade were treated to withstand water (unless you did that and didn't film that part of the process for whatever reason.) As anyone who wet shaves knows, water plays a pretty prominent role in the use of a straight-razor, and it's only a matter of time before it enters the wood and causes swelling/warping and rusts the blade.

[@SonOfAHerbert]

I never thought to make an integral / unibody handle like this before with no wedge or other parts etc. I think I'm going to use this method for my restoration and do it with some nice curly walnut. I've had this project on the backburner for my old scoutmaster for probably a couple years now. Thanks!

[@RobertoDonatti]

I've never seen a straight razor with a wooden handle. The reason is that they get wet when you shave, the wood swells and you can't get it to open. Most razors had a horn handle. Also this one is ugly as hell.

@@kalle4624 yeah but those are hardwoods like cocobola or mahogany, not softwoods like pine.

It's true that author did fine work to bring to the blade the shine back but he: 1. damaged old handle 2. didn't do anything to protect razor from rerusting 3. could do much better with a new handle. The good thing: number of fingers in this video is constant and we all learnt a lot.

[@markharris5771]

Your blade is phenomenal, no one can criticise that as you did an amazing job. Quite often generally assumed knowledge of an item can be lost in history and I think your only error was being born too late. I’m just about 60 and I only remember my ancient grandfather, who was 80 when I was born using one until they came back in fashion in the early 80s. I was taught by a hairdresser how to use one, and you need to be able to feel the blade and have all the balance there. Obviously I can’t comment how your handle feels, or how getting wet will impact on it, but unfortunately it doesn’t look too efficient. A good attempt though and as someone commented you can change the handle and the blade looks amazing.
