Thanked: 13249 Mike yer last one !!!
Should have posted this one earlier too, Remember that dirty, rusty, scratched up olé' round nose W&B you sent along
Yeah here it is now !!!!!
This one has a working finish, I did not take it to a mirror, just nice, clean, and shiny again...... I re-polished the slick black scales so they are actually Slick & Black again
Hope ya like it !!!!!
I am going to try and find the before pics, I think you sent me some....

I love it.
It looks brand new. I cant weight to shave with a razor that is over 100 years old. I can only imagine the guy who went to the local town store & bought it all those years ago. Thank you so much for all your hard work-!!!

Awesome !!! By the glint on them black scales they must shine like an eight-ball.
The white gleam of swords, not the black ink of books, clears doubts and uncertainties and bleak outlooks.
