    Default 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 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.
