Restoration Rusty Straight Razor with Amazing Masterpiece Handle
Restoration Rusty Straight Razor with Amazing Masterpiece Handle . I will restore this old razor and I will make it the most beautiful razor you have ever seen.No clickbait.
I bought this straight razor from Etsy,from a seller from Ukraine. He likes the restoration videos and projects and he is looking forward to seeing how I restored it. To be honest with you guys,I saw a razor like mine(after restoration) in a post from Russia,on Instagram(I think Barocco is the name),about 5-6 months ago. And from that moment I thought to make a video of restoring a straight razor.
I bought it in a very bad conditions,the handle is destroyed (but this is ok) and the blade are very very rusty,I was afraid to not cut myself when I restored the razor. But was challenging to restore it and the final result is very Cool. You don't waste your time watching this video.
Restoration process details:
I start restoring these straight razor by disassembling the handle and after that I restore it the blade,with electrolysis because any other method will affect the metal. After hours and hours of sanding the blade,the nice results has began to appear. I continued the restoration by finding a piece of wood,from oak wood,and I started to make the new handle for the razor. I like to work with epoxy resin, because it brings an extra color to the restoration. and in my opinion, epoxy resin is art. Towards the end of the restoration video,I sharpened the razor with stone grit and leather strop for the final touch.
I really want this video to be seen by a lot of people; I put a lot of passion into this restoration project so if you liked what you see consider subscribing or any other option you want(like,comment and share).

As a retired Barber (30+years) that was beautiful to see. French razor, very cool, a beautiful job and rare skills my friend. Thanks. 💈
Thank you very much Jennifer👍🏻🍀
So did you own a shop or were you employed?
I have a Theirs-Issard French Hand Made Straight Razor
@Chris Wilson there's more then one way champ
@Chris Wilson Weather its done the right way or not, as long as it's sharp and the simple job it's made for is effective.
1:36 that "rust soup" is scary, like it came straight out of Resident Evil
😅😅
Waiting for a t- virus snake to jump up from it🤪
bad soup
Looks like an attempt at brownies gone awry when he zoomed out haha
As a proud owner and user of a beautifully restored straight razor myself, I have to say I am feeling some envy toward whoever gets that blade from you. Really nice job.
Thank you very much McBobb 👍🏻👍🏻
Bonnaud was a French maker, based in Nancy, France. Quality steel..
I saw on my skin how quality was,after some couple of hours of sanding 🤦🏼♂️
They date back to at least 1770 (see www.lassco.co.uk/rare-original-copper-engravings-f)
Sister has one, hella scary how sharp it is . Only allowed her to give me a shave with it once, after i made a mental note to never piss her off.
🤣🤣🤣
Lol
Pfffffffffffff hahahahah
l ve been watching restoration works on KZhead more than two years and very surprised that l didn't see your videos before. And now your channel is already in my top 3 restoration channels with mymechanics & tysy tube. Your works are amazing congrats.
Thank you very much Mustafa 😎👍🏼🍻 I really appreciate that 🙏🏻 thanks again
Have you seen Baumgartner Restoration?
@@annakoch9972 Ty. l ve checked it and art is not something l m looking for @ KZhead.
"At last! My arm is complete again!" *Sweeny Todd Theme intensifies*
HOLY SH*T! That was AMAZING to see that come back from the grave! Well done sir!
Glad you like it Sir 👍🏻🍀
That electrolysis "Soup" was slightly disturbing 😮 😀
What do you mean, that jumped from horror movie scary to devil scary
I can imagine that there would be a strange fan base for that design but with blood red epoxy handle.
I think that used to belong to a fella named "Corn Pop". He was a bad dude.
He was a bad dude and he ran with a bunch of bad boys.
LOL!!!
My uncle owned a pawn shop and left me a box, yes.... a box of straight razors. I am not the brave individual that will shave with them. But this video brought back many fun memories of my time with Unc in his pawn shop. Thank you, CAR!
Thanks Steve and glad you liked it so much 😊
THIS IS BY FAR THE MOST AMAZING RESTORATION I'VE EVER SEEN!
Thank you very much Hector 🤗👍🏻🍀
I like it very much, and i like that modern touch with that Epoxi-handle! I am deeply impressed that you are using high tec to check how sharpe is your blade!
I’m glad you like it Alex and thanks for watching and supporting my video 👍🏻🍀
id love to add that beauty to the collection
Impressive work, very clean! Always great to see new techniques, shows you either really know your stuff or are learning at lightning pace.
Thank you Steve,for your support and watching 👍🏻🍀

Im never going to sleep. I am addicted to these videos. 😋😂

You seem to have all the knowledge and tools necessary for every one these various projects. Even your skill level sharpening a blade is excellent. Beautiful piece.
🤗🤗🤗
@@CoolAgainRestoration Well played here, Cool Again Restoration: As Seth previously said in his comment above, you *seems to have all the knowledge and tools necessary for every one of these various projects* lile this one right...😏😎
What a gorgeous piece! A work of art.💖
Thanks Kathy 🤗
@@CoolAgainRestoration Well done, Cool Again Restoration...😁👍
Now that's called a Masterpiece 👌🏻👌🏻
Glad you liked Sanon 👍🏻
Man this is a MASTERPIECE!
Thanks man 😊
Thank you very much for sharing this process! My grandfather was a barber and I inherited all of his razors and scissors after he passed. I look forward to using your techniques to make his tools look like new again! He would be proud. Thank you again!
I’m glad to hear that my work inspire you but be carrefull please,if you want to make the razor very sharp( I mean to use again on the beard) you need to use another method for sharpening. I think you need to invest in a sharpening system,I recomand you Edge pro. I will make another video with A-Z method and also with the detailed sharpening process 👍🏻👍🏻
The only problem with using a flat stone sharpening set is you don't get a "hollow grind", which is when both sides of the blade edge are concave and meet in a microscopically sharp edge. You can tell this blade was originally hollow ground - it involves large sharpening wheels and a LOT of skill. Very nice job!
Thanks Jon
I’m in barber school and will be purchasing a lot of insurance just so I can use these old school non disposable razors.
It depends on what state you plan to practice in. This state, Washington, has health regulations that prohibit the use of straight razors. You can use the "shavets" but not a real razor.
not gonna lie but this is one of the most BEAUTIFUL knives i have ever seen and ive watched 5000+ knife videos not just metal/wood working thats just knives and this is in my top 5 of all time, i absolutely love it
Glad you liked it Jole 😊 thank you very much
Brief channel description: hypnotic, artistic, skilled yet unnecessary overkill that you can't stop viewing.
Thanks for this brief description 😎🍻👍🏻
Easily the best cutthroat restoration I've seen on KZhead, a true object d'art.
I’m glad you like it,Mark 🤗👍🏻🍀
I found your coffee machine video on recommendation and first time I dont regret watching what KZhead recommended me. Great work mate❤️ Subscribed😊
Ooh,thank you very much King KJ.. glad to hear that and I try my best 👍🏻
I believe this is a French made Straight Razor. This was really pretty !! WOW 😳Look at that blade shine !! Amazing just AMAZING !! 👍👍
Thank you very much Robert 👍🏻👍🏻😊
The love and care that goes into this work can be seen from space. Kudos.
🙈 many thanks 👍🏻
Yknow man you have done some really amazing work idk why you don't have more subscribers its like informational asmr and I love it
Thanks buddy. Maybe after some time I will have more sub 🤷🏼♂️
it's crazy that electrolysis just kinda... does that
Хорошая работа, друг. Был удивлён, что ты точил не руками. Теперь сам хочу так попробовать поточить) Good job, friend. I was surprised that you didn't sharpen with your hands. Now I want to try to sharpen it myself)
Thank you very much 🤗
Very good work, excellent technique, wonderful as always...
fantastic work! Just discovered this channel a couple of days ago, I'm liking every video I see
That’s awesome. Thank you very very much and I’m glad you like it. 👍🏻🍀🤗
Nice, they found Corn Pop's razor.
These videos are so cool and addicting! Never gets old!
This one was absolutely stunning
Thank you very much 🤗
if you intend to use this you should go to a much shallower edge
👍🏻👍🏻 I used. Is not the best razor in the world( i mean by sharpeness) but worl very well in my beard 😂
@@CoolAgainRestoration A few remarks: -First: learn to sharpen a razor. It is quite different from a knife, and is a learned skill. Be patient. For a proper edge geometry, a razor is to be sharpened flat on the stone. You remove metal from the edge AND the spine. No need to use any sharpening "thingamabob" or hald any angle, the blade shape does it for you. -Your grain progression is too rough and too steep: you do not need anything below 800, unless the edge is badly chipped. A #1500 stone is barely end of sharpening. Then, you need to do the honing, but at that point, pasted strop is near useless, as the difference in grain is too large. You need to go through at least a 6000 stone first (maybe even finer) before you would see the effect of the pastes. Get proper equipment. If you do not want too many stones, a small natural Belgian Coticule is a good choice that allows a full edge refining from the 1500 stone. It is an amazingly versatile honing stone, and with practice, you will not even need pasted strops. -DO NOT CUT PAPER WITH A RAZOR! Doing this is ruining the edge (paper is very abrasive to a razor's edge). It's meant to cut hair, and hair only! If you want to test your blade, do a hair test (drag a hair across the edge. If your blade silently pops it is half, it's good. f it grabs and pops with a light "ping" it's okay-ish, but if it glides across, your edge is not sharp enough). -the nickel plating was, IMHO, a pretty bad mistake. Nickel is very hard (will be problematic for sharpening) and is actually toxic/allergenic. Given that this thing will be in contact with your skin, and potentially your blood stream, you want to remove that crap asap. A proper razor blade is naked steel, polished and oiled to keep it in good condition (an oil like Ballistol is perfect for that). But that was amzing work nontheless! Thumbs up! :)
Definitely your advices will be on my next razor project 👍🏻
@@CoolAgainRestoration happy if I can help. Keep up the great work!
I know I need to learn more but with the time. Because to do a perfect work here in restoration,need skills about knifemaker,axe maker,razor maker,paint job, etc 😂😂 is like 10 job in one 😂 but everytime I try to do my best for all of you.
Awesome! Now grab Victor, and i'll shave him! Or i'll grab him, and you'll shave him! :D
Victor's biggest enemy is the razor blade :)) thank you for your support Jonh👍🏻🍀
Man man man.....the tools the results and above all the skills.....hats off to you dude really satisfying
Thank you very much Jamil 😎👍🏻👍🏻
@@CoolAgainRestoration cheers man
Wow now that's some super work right here. You ppl that dislike this video don't understand how fragile these french blade are or too easily chip the razer! handles are a fantastic idea. Looks amazing
“The Tetanus” XD
Lmao you're hilarious for calling it "the tetanus"
'Tis a thing of beauty now and useful once again.
Once again . Your the man !
Thanks Robert 😎
I can tell it's French and produced in Nancy, but I can't find the company. It's probably been dissolved long ago, but maybe an old Lorrain whom worked on such beauty will stumble on this video and shed a tear.
🤗🤗🤗thanks Guillaume 🍻
Not bad, few things to consider blade requires a much higher polish, nickel plaiting means it will never produce a quality edge. (A quality razor has no plating) That sharpening device will not achieve the correct angle, brass liners in the fixing holes will reduce future ware , if correctly prepared there is no need to use compound on the strop.
Always a delight to see a restore episode in here
Thank you for this video. I've been sitting on a antique straight razor I picked up at a flea market to restore. The blade only has a small chip in it but the handle isn't original and I want to bring it all back into all its splendor. Your video gave me some new ideas and strategies too take on the project.
Glad to hear that 👍🏻👍🏻
well sir, it's fine work, very fine, but actually I don't like the handle. I would prefer all wood or all resin. that half and weird shape doesn't do it FOR ME. I do like the way the resin part turned out color wise, neat effect but would be better on the entire handle, in my opinion. I'm old so I'm also old school, I tend to like things the older way. by the way, it does not take courage or at least much courage to shave yourself with a straight razor... but it takes real courage to let a barber you don't even know do it. course you could do like clint eastwood in one of his spaghetti westerns, keep your gun cocked under the apron thing, they mess up, kaboom.
Thank you sir! It’s hard to thank everyone. Maybe what you like 100%,someone dislike that. And I have a little audience..😂😂 the phrase with the courage,was from a joke.
@@CoolAgainRestoration well I tried to be specific that it was MY taste, not that you did anything wrong. I got the joke but you didn't get mine, apparently you've never seen that old Clint Eastwood movie, here's the clip: kzhead.info/sun/ZcqcY5qAmmSkZas/bejne.html High plains drifter.
I realized your joke. I didn't know about the movie, I saw it now 😂
@@tootall5559, Wow, you are a very egocentric little man. You pushed your opinion forcefully in your comment, then attempt to play it off in your follow up. Then you got so asshurt about him not getting your joke, that you link it, again trying to force your "me me me" toddler bullshit. Who cares if he got your Eastwood reference, you have to point it out to him with more prattling about "I guess you never saw it". As if you are in a class above him because you watch Eastwood, that's the subtle narcissistic traits showing through, you should get counseling. I pity your wife and others who have to feign a smile around your intolerable ass, you're a zero.
One more incredible restauration! Back to life! My father used these with both hands! His beard was so thick and grew so fast he used to shave his face twice a day! I inherited his 2 razor blades. Never could use a blade without getting a cut... 👏👏👏 Fro Brazil 🇧🇷.
Thanks for appreciation Ari 🙏🏻
Beautiful job on that old straight razor sir. It's amazing the transformation from a dangerously rusty old razor to a like new piece of usable art. Well done!
Thanks Brian! I really appreciate 👍🏻
@@CoolAgainRestoration Well played, Cool Again Restoration. Seeing you just *restored a dangerously rusty-looking old straight razor* into a new piece of usable (and hygienic) work of art💈was pretty awesome to behold...😏😎
Absolutely STUNNING!

Amazing work! Simply amazing! I am always in awe at the drive and talent you have for this craft.
Thanks a lot Darryl 😎👍🏻
Fine work. Lovin that epoxy & wood combination. My Dad made pens and used wood & epoxy a lot. He was also a fan of using deer antlers in his pen making. He would have loved to see your work. It's nice to see other ppl doing what Dad did and doing it as well as he did. You are a wonderful artist.👏🏼
Thanks again my friend 🤩😊👍🏻 cheers and stay safe
Each video is much more cool that previous video
That mean progression 😇
It's amazing what you can do. Such skills ⭐
That is a Sweet Razor now. Looks Sick !!! 😎👍🏁🏁

I have seen several of these restorations on KZhead, but your handles are the best so far. Nicely done, sir. Nicely done indeed.
Thank you very very much Paul. I think to make another razor,with a handle more amazing than that.
Beautiful restoration. This is a masterpiece.
Thank you very much Sierra 🤗👍🏻
What a sweet piece of restoration art - didn't expect the nickel plating, you get bonus points for that

Thank you very much 🤗
I don’t know what I like more - the video itself, or the description. Double win!
Everytime when I write the description I try to do my best but in the same time I think how many read that 😂
The only gripe I have is it would have been nice to see the blade fully closed so we could show love to that glorious handle. Bravo.
Spectacular work
🤗🤗🤗 thanks again
Nice polish, I’ve used whit for years and just got the Picasso blue from Japan and it’s simply the deepest luster I’ve personally ever seen
Fantástico !!!! Adoro o seu trabalho...parabéns.
