    Beautiful work for hand polishing. You put some time and effort into that and it shows.
    Congratulations and enjoy!

    Thanks, Pete. There was very little rust on it, so I did the CroOx, WD40 thing on a scrap of worn crocus, followed by a LOT of Maas as I had the time. All of it's defects and scratches are still there. So are the original grinding striations.
    Original, yet clean.

    Thanks, Karl! It took about 15 seconds to fall off the wagon on this one!

    It's an incredible looking razor, Tom.
    I look forward to hearing how it shaves. Maybe this Sunday's SOTD?

    I just looked into this thread and I'm glad I did. That is a fantastic restore. You kept the crisp lines without rounding everything off ... Simply stunning.
    That is a blade to be well proud of!

    Wow, well done sir! Absolutely lovely razor and super find! Love finding obscure manufacturers that turned out quality product and that looks like a grand shaver.
