John Heiffor, one of many cutlers to market razors commemorating the 1893 Chicago World's Fair. This razor was disassembled and the blade hand sanded, hand polished. The original scales were washed, sanded, flattened and rehydrated then repinned with collarless brass pins and original lead wedge.
Before and during restoration:

Nice work Paul! Blade looks great and the scales sure were brought back to life.
Outstanding!
Looks great Paul!!
Its funny, not all the razors for that expo have the same image on the blade. Some have different buildings or view from the same grounds.
How did it shave for you? They seem to be of decent steel!
Just honed it up. I'll let you know tomorrow. It has a nice ring though so I'm optimistic.
Nice razor. Glad to see it back to work and looking good.
Nice work, Paul.
You're right they do have a nice ring to them. The kind that is rare to me.Quote:

Great shave as you would expect from a singing blade.

Bevel set on heirloom (Dad's) giant 10 3/4" X 3 1/2" X 3 3/4" double sided razor hone
4k, 8k, 12k, 15k progression
Tamed on CW/BBW natural combo for a crisp but comfortable shave I wish I got every shave with no sting from the alum block.
