I know, but it's worth a try.

Sure.

It's only been 2379 days since he posted in this thread, so he'll probably be back any day now!

Hey hey - 2379 days isn't all that long!

I did get it restored - and then found that my skin cannot stand a straight shave - nothing but pain and stinging - so I've gone back to the double-edged safety razor. So I've got 3 pretty fantastic razors that sit in a box doing nothing but looking good.

Thanks for the post though. And if I can get my skin sorted maybe I'll need your help maintaining these razors.

Hey! Welcome back!

The reason that I initially started with a safety razor and then a straight was because of the skin irritation that I was getting from my 2-blade Gillette Atra cartridge razor. A properly honed straight razor should cause less irritation for most people. Are you certain that your straights were competently honed?
