    hehe. i would have passed that razor by without a second glance. just goes to show that with time, patience and experience you can give anything a whole second chance. love seeing old razors shave ready again. truly a great restore job. well done sir.

    What everyone else said above since I cannot recall seeing another razor resurrection quite this dramatic.



    Almost looks as though you employed one those professional "As Seen on TV" advert sleaze balls to maximize the difference from before to after in the photos, but you wouldn't do that would you?

    Great job. I probably would have put that blade in the wind chimes box.

    Excellent work!

    Beautiful, they are spectacular razors in my opinion, found one myself a few years ago and had it brought back to life.

    Great save.
