I received my first straight razor years ago from an ex-gf, and upon trying it (mind you I didn't know they weren't shave ready out of the box), I soon let it go by the wayside. Until recently.

Here is the razor she got me, all stainless Dovo 41:





and today after visiting what seemed like an endless supply of antique stores here in the city I found this blade that could use a good refurbishing.







it's funny because the box it was in and the store owner said it was a Puma, obviously I didn't know enough about that brand to understand that the razor inside wasn't... I plan on practicing restoration with this piece. So far total cost into it is $20 for the razor. Comments? Suggestions?
