Restoration #2 - "Artifex" 5/8 Spike - Honduran Rosewood
Well here is the result of my second restoration attempt. I was unable to find any info on it so I wasn't going to bother doing any work but I had 5 razors from ebay en route and nothing to do at home. Consequently I hit the blade with a bit of polish and got started - if anything just for the practice. Ironic thing is it turned out to be a fantastic shaver! The blade has no smile to it whatsoever and as such was a dream to hone. I only wish I'd known about it's potential or I'd have sunk some more effort in.
Anyway, scales are honduran rosewood with an epoxy finish, original (faux ivory wedge) and brass washers/pins.
Let me know what you think.....especially if you know about this make of razor!
