    Default A couple of "do nothing" razors

    A philosophy of "do no harm" leads me to do nothing to these two razors but some Mother's polish. The scratches and pits they have are so minor, any work on them might detract more than improve.

    Both are classy razors. I love the etching on old razors!

    very nice looking pair there
    love the Diamond edge
    most of my personal razors if in good shape are kept at the minimalist approach as I love to keep there character & the aged look, so a clean & polish only with a hone usually
    but if the scales have to come off or need replacing then shinny they shall be LOL

    Wow - two classy razors, the diamond edge has that unique rattler grind I believe it's called, they look fantastic.

    I have a Wolstenhome & Sons original pipe razor in similar condition. When you put it in perspective, for its age, it looks great so I left it alone and it shaves like a dream.

    In my opinion patina is character earned by an instrument made with enough quality to stand the test of time. IMHO enjoy it as it is.

    V/R,
