Greaves & Sons

[tathra11]

This Greaves needed some love. Scrubbed the blade with M3 Marine to remove lotsa surface crud. Then a wet n dry progression, followed by buffing and a final polish with Maas. I gave the blade faces a satin finish. Scales were well sanded and had big chips filled with epoxy. I then dyed 'em deep black. A lovely old shaver.

Very nice work. I like the fact that you've left it with its natural smile... Looks like a very quiet shaver.

Was admiring the first pic and then got to the restored photos. Nice job, puts mine to shame
What's M3 Marine? I found MAAS Metal Polish and 3M Marine Metal Restorer and Polish
I like the metal tip on scales it has a nice polished look
