    There are a few members in the LA area. Some pics would also help others to see what kind of restoration your needing.

    Keep an eye out in the "Gatherings" section in the General Shaving forum, some get togethers happen now and again

    Looks like cell rot to me, keep that razor away from any others preferably open and in the open air
    If im right you need to get rid of those scales as they eat themself and steel aswell

    Sorry i do not recall the method to positively identyfy this but someone will come along soon

    To re-work one of my favorite quotes from JoeD:

    "Your nearest razor expert is as only as far away as your mailbox."

    Beyond that, you should be very careful with that razor you posted photos of... that is beyond any doubt celluloid rot!
