Many years of restoration experience and hundreds of restored razors sold around the world have refined our processes, but each razor is still given the time and individual attention it needs. Our vintage razors undergo dozens of steps involving blade unpinning (where necessarily) metal grinding\/sanding with a range of different diameter and hardness wheels with various grits of abrasive and polishes. Scales are straightened and repaired when necessary, wet sanded and polishing. After the razor’s cosmetic and functional repairs are completed, a multistep honing process using a range of synthetic and natural sharpening stones is used to bring each razor back to keen and comfortable shaving sharpness. Finally stropping is performed on one of our cordovan leather strops and the blade is sanitized in Barbicide hospital-grade disinfectant. If for any reason you are not satisfied with our restored razors, please contact us to discuss return options. Your satisfaction is our ultimate goal.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Griffith Shaving Goods","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42773042200670,"sku":null,"price":229.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0778\/2905\/files\/DSC01608.jpg?v=1779047464","url":"https:\/\/www.griffithshavinggoods.com\/products\/patent-early-1800s-stubtail-restored-6-8-sheffield-straight-razor-with-scrimshaw-ivory-scales-shave-ready","provider":"Griffith Shaving Goods","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
