I took a gamble on this one and snagged it up as it was at good price for a 6/8 Puma. It arrived, and the scales were in nice shape. I hand sanded it up to 12000, and was able to get out a fair amount of the pitting. Unfortunately, I lost the goldwash in the process. Still, it honed up nicely and has given two nice shaves. I'll admit that this razor is an ugly duckling, but I disagree that it is wall of shame material. :o
Here's some pics of how it cleaned up
