    Default two old ones

    Here are pics of two restorations.
    Completely original ones (when it's possible, I like to keep them all originals)
    first : a french one, probably pretty old, with lot of rust, but unfortunately, I forgot to take pics before...
    Scales are in horn.
    Even pins are originals.

    Real nice work,

    You've made miracles with these old ladies to bring them back to work they were meant to do.
    Would have been most interesting to see before pictures from the first as well. Seeing how the edge looked before on the second razor really shows how much you have worked for it.
    I also respect that you didn't make them look like factory new.

    Congrats,
    Tomi

    Wow, that second one I wouldn't have even touched, but you've done a splendid job. And I love clad tangs.

    Excellent ! I like how you've kept the the authenticity & restored function

    Nice job. I especially like the second razor. Quite a contrast with the before & after pix.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.
