Actually I'm on the fence. In fact I'm having an 1810s blade fully reground as we speak. Sometimes it is indeed really cool to see how these blades would have looked when made - this one especially is right on the edge of both worlds because it was in generally good condition when it started. (The scales were beautiful but would have required some serious effort at the wedge end). What I hate is when a blade full of pits is just buffed leading to the liquid metal appearance, or in general when careful attention is not paid to make the razor look like it once would have. This was a very tactful restore.
