Hey folks!
In this Restoration Video I restored an old 'Tarantella' Razor Blade Sharpener. The marks on the tool say 'DRP' which means 'German Reichs Patent', so this tool must be at least 80 years old!
I purchased this Razor Blade Sharpener online and the condition was bad. So I restored it! I started with disassembling the whole tool, and took care of every single part. I used sandblasting, filing, sanding, painting and many other restoration techniques to get this old beauty to its former state!
I hope you have fun with the video! If you have any questions on the used tools, materials or the processes, write it in the comment section - i´ll try to answer as soon as possible!

One helpful tip I've learned for working with cold bluing solutions, heat the metal to be blued to about 70-75°C. It makes the bluing solution get deeper into the steel and is less apt to leave streaking. It also helps the oil get deeper into the metal for curing the cold blue. It's helped me quite a few times to get parts "just right" after fighting them looking terrible after cold bluing room temperature steel.
Hey man, thank you so much for this tip, I really appreciate and will try it 🙂👍
@@misterpatina if cold bluing is toxic and it is a good idea to wear gloves while applying it, some of the toxic chemicals must persist after it is dry, no?
Good to know
At that point why not just heat it another few hundred degrees and rust blue it in oil? I thought cold bluing was made so you didn’t have to worry about heating the steel to a specific temp?
Yeah I thought the same too lol, cold bluing but.. hot?
As a mechanic, I wholeheartedly approve of the massive amount of brake cleaner used in this video. Absolutely marvelous.
Haha, theres never enough!
Brake cleaner is like liquid duct tape
Yaeyyyy finally a new video of my favorite friend-with-a-restoration-channel-on-youtube-who-is-also-named-kai. Now we can start our secret project challenge 😜😍❤️
Hold up... Your secret what??? You had our curiosity, but now you have our attention
You’re such a weird person but I love you!
Yes, BUT there will be a video on my second channel the next days…wait, what?
@@LB-oh2bw pssssshhhhhh 😄
Wait a second how did I suddenly become the weird one? I present the court exhibit 1: a specific video frame at 6:56. Does that ring any bells Mister P 📹🔔🕷️?
Secondly wait another second regarding your second statement, what second channel are you talking about?
I thought I'd never see one of those again, I remember being a kid in the 60's and we had one in a junk drawer. At the time we didn't know what it was. Dad told us it was his dad's and it sharpens his razor blades and that all he knew about it.
i love the way all the metal sparkles when it gets sandblasted, makes me happy.
Who else watched the entire video wondering what was glued to that bakelite component? Great restore. Love the channel.
The spinning motion sharpening is cool. Guess that's where the name "Tarantella" comes from (referring to the dance, not the spider).
Oh wow, that makes sense! Thanks! :-)
The dance referred to the spider 👍😉
Hello from France Beautiful object. The ancients knew how not to waste. It was better for the planet, now we have disposable razors, once used they go in the trash.
I totally agree...!
Merci!
This guy put a twist on the end when polishing that shaft.
Not sure if it’s something different, but the close ups of sand blasting look really good! Also, love a good spinny boy
Thanks a lot, iam glad you enjoyed!
In the Italian town Tarantos (from Tarantas) it was believed that the 'lycosa tarantula' (a wolf spider named after the town and not to be confused with what we know as tarantulas of today) had a highly venomous bite which would cause a condition known as tarantism.
The original tarantella was a graceful courtship dance whereas the tarantella associated with the spider was a frenetic and said to last hours or days with music played to match the pace of the victim
Reminds me of our next door neighbour during the war. He always sharpened his razor blades with some sort of accessory. You knew when he was about to shave because you could hear the “clip clop” of his razor blade flipping over at the end of each stroke on his strop.
All the way to the end, I still had no idea what this little thing was for -- a one-handed stropping tool?! Really amazing, I had no idea such a thing might exist!
Haha, i first didn’t know how to handle it because the leather was missing. 4 days of research and I knew 😄
The end results are DOPE AF, @misterpatina!
The little tarantula jump scare was very funny! I love all the little jokes you add to the videos
Haha, I couldn’t resist here 😄
Thanks!
I appreciate this as someone who collects old razors and accessories. I have a few different types of sharpeners/strops, but have never seen this style.
I really never knew about this item. How convenient to was back then. Thanks for video
Nice tip with the washer to protect the handle.
Very nice renovation.
That fight club level splice image of a tarantula was epic!
Haha!
Oh that was surprising for sure. Never heard or seen anything like that, I knew Gillette blade sharpener did exist in Italy (and surely elsewhere as well) until stainless steel blades lasting 10x more than carbon steel were introduced. But this 'stropping' tool is nice and surprising! Great work as usual, really enjoy your restorations.
Thanks buddy! Yeah, back in the days it was more economic to sharpen the old blades, instead of buying new ones. I guess that’s why I like this old stuff so much.
Thanks!
Keine Ahnung wie ein Messerschärfgerät sonst aussieht. Aber dieses ist jetzt wunderschön 😍
Dankeschön 😊
I enjoyed the video. I am leaving this comment to support your work. I am subscribed. Thank you.
Hey Wiley, thank you so much!
I've never seen that style razor sharpener. This restoration came out beautiful. And the simple thing of putting a washer on the rod to protect the wooden handle falls under the category of "why didn't I think of that". 👍👍
Thanks a lot! Never stop learning is a good thing...:-)
Excellent tool
Thanks! :-)
That was one of the most satisfying sand blasting footage I think I've ever seen.
Hey man, iam glad you enjoyed! Thanks for your support! 🙂❤️
@@misterpatina late comment, but it looks like the media may actually be sand. I've usually had better results with glass bead, especially on something smaller like this. It may be slower at removing paint, but leaves a much smoother finish.
Love me some mister patina
No comments on the jump scare?!?! Nearly fell out of bed haha!!!
At first, it didn't look that effective but I can see the principal behind it. Great restore!
Thanks a lot!
i dont think a single craftsman would disagree, that the most Loathed tool in the whole caboodle, is the wirebrush when scrubbing small parts.
Very Nice!
Молодец мистер!-, до последнего момента не мог понять что это за приспособление, просто раньше я таких не видел в продаже!-, отличная получилась рестоврация, дай бог тебе здоровья и благополучия, новых творческих успехов и хорошего настроения 👍👍👍🤝🇷🇺👈🤓🤗🛠️⚙️🔩🔗📏🗜️🦾👌🆗!!!
А я так и не поняла, что это за штука. Не подскажите?
@@Veraspb точилка для лезвий
@@l4rever409 спасибо
Это абсолютно не нужная хрень - результат работы маркетологов того времени
Spinny boy! Lol
Another good show.
That was cool 😎👍
idk why i love this thing though. clever lil design
Enjoyable video. Thanks 👍
Iam glad you enjoyed!
that spider jump scare
Here's another tool I didn't know existed. Great work
Thanks 🙂
So good ii boss 👍👍😊
I have no idea that such a thing exist/existed. Just throw away a dull razor and get new one... This is brilliant. And fantastic video! Good job!
Thanks a lot! Iam glad you like my work!
Grandfather had one of these...he always used to sharpen his blades on a piece of newspaper.
Awesome tool and great restoration. It was cool to see the old days tool where mass production was not present, therefore people had to care for their razor blades.
It's good to see the original doce de leite grease reused at 14:45.
My dad used a shot glass to sharpen his razor blades. He would have liked this device, I think.
Amazing, we used to use everything to the end. Very nice
I love your restoration work. It is obvious that you have experience and the necessary tools. Congratulations ❗
Disengaging that vise sounds like opening a bank vault.
The spinney boy makes it more fun 😁. Another item from past times brought back to life and looking great 👏👏👏. Thanks Mr. Patina 👍. Now hurry up with another vid please 😂😂😂. 😎
Hahaha! Iam currently working on 3 projects, there will be good content this year 🥳
Loved it! Great paint work mate.
Try using glass bead for your blasting material, it is easier on the metal, though a bit slower, and leaves a finer finish.
Wha I have never seen this before it's amazing engeneering tool
Well done.
Thanks!
You can do a spinny boy love that haha great video as well loved every second of it thanks
Unusual device I never seen or heard of before. Learn something new everyday. Thumbs up!
Thanks Gary! :-)
Cool 🪒🪒🪒👍🎨🖤👍💎👍🪛👍🔩👍⚗️🧪👍🛠👍🧰💯👌👌👌👏👏👏🍺🍻😉🥳🙂😁👍 Like 👍
The reassembly was out of this world. Thanks for making our lives better with yet another beautiful video.
Thanks for your heartwarming words ❤️
Nice job!
Thanks!
Perfekt Job thank jou for the Video very good
Thank you so much!
Nice! I had no idea that devices like this existed.
There are several different devices, I think there will be more in my upcoming videos 😉
My dear Mister P!
Thank you very much, brat!
Keep up your great work!!!
Oohhhh Spasibo bratan!
🙂👍
Great job 👍 And always a high-quality video with well-documented steps. A real treat 🤩 In addition, it makes it possible to rediscover nice objects. Thanks !
WOW! Never knew such a device existed. Another fantastic video.
Thanks!
Okay, you know you’ve watched way to many of these when they put it straight in the sand blaster and you say “you better have lead tested that!!”😂😂
Hahaha! I always do! 😄
Preciosa restauración, pero también es hermoso ver como se ingeniaban nuestros abuelos para reutilizar esos elementos y así evitar desechos innecesarios hermoso!!!
Fantastic tool (I've never seen anything like it before), and fantastic restoration. Bravo.
Thanks a lot my friend 🙂
Oh WOW!
Amazing, we used to use everything to the end. Very nice 😊👍
Thanks buddy! 🙂🤘
Very cool ive seen other razor blade shapeners but never one like this. nice woork looks like new
LOOKIN' GOOD..
Thanks!
Sehr gutes Video
I wish I could leave an extra like just for the spinny boy
Well done
Thanks!
*_Awesome! Love your content and beautiful restoration as always 👍_*
Thanks buddy !
That is awesome how you restored the razor sharpener. It looks much better and it works like a charm too. Excellent work.
Thanks George!
Super 👍 😎
Good work
Thanks!
This was a really interesting piece - I was trying to guess how it worked and was surprised by the demonstration; but you could see how it would be more practical to pack in your toiletries case than a full size strop. Very enjoyable and yes - I did clock that tarantula😆
okay but how many blades could you fit in the space this thing would take up 🤣🤣
Awesome restoration! Can't get any better.
Thanks 🙂
Pretty cool.
Thanks! :-)
How funny you doing a razor blade sharpener. I hadn't seen one of these in years. My Dad use to have one of those double sided razor blade sharpners. I'm pretty old now but I can remember it from when I was 5 wondering what it was. At 7 I thought it was a cigarette roller as some people had these fancy rollers. A couple of years later I finally as what it was.
Awesome 👏
Thanks! :-)
It’s perfect
Excelente..!!...Saludosss..
Absolutely beautiful restoration as always, Mr. Patina!
I love the old "DRP" patent "Deutsches Reichtspatent"
I have always had a soft spot for razor blade sharpeners and this one has a very clever mechanism
Love the video :-D
Hey Martin, thank you so much!
Haha, somehow these little beasts catch me, too. I have another one, but in way better condition :-)
thanks for your support Mr.! :-)
Nice vid. It saves my sunday-breakfast !
Thx !
Thanks, have a good one 🙂
I seen that tarantula popped up 😱
Dude you should've clear coated that handle... The grey was sweet.
I am seeing this device first time.... Wooooow....
Wonderful job, never seen one before.
Thanks!
איזה כיף זה!
Thanks!
What???Spider?)))
Thenks for video)))
