    Default Gotta "Silver Ring" Original Restore

    Here is a very nice Gotta "Silver Ring" razor restored to original. The blade etching is very neat, and came out very nice in the restore. Blade is a good size, at 13/16 and a looker! Scales were repinned, and sanding was minimal as to preserve the etching. As always, my pictures are crap... lol ;-)


    Maker: Gotta
    Brand: Silver Ring
    Tang: (Front) Silver Ring, Trademark (Back) Grah&Plumacher, Solingen-Weyer, Germany
    Blade Etching: Silver Ring, with a bell between the words and the words "Trademark" written on the lip of the bell
    Scales: Black acrylic, with an embossed brass "Gotta"
    Pins: Brass

    Very nice looking restore Matt. The etching looks pretty deep. How does she shave?

    Nicely done Matt. It takes a lot to know where to stop with a restore. Did you re-pin the scales? If so, it looks well done.

    Enjoy your shaves with this fine looker.
