    Default Worth Restoring or Not

    So I'm thinking about restoring this razor I bought from an antique shop and I want your expert opinion on where not to restore it.

    Thanks,

    JOn

    Not to be negative, but I could advise you to use it for a piece to develop skills on. See how good you can make it look, in essence. I am no expert, but from the photos, it seems to have pitting in the bevel and the spine looks ground up. Work with it and as you discover something better, you will know more things to work with! That way it will be valuable to you. Just an opinion

    As said above..not to be negative but..unless it's one that you want to practice with and develop some skills in restoring until a better blade comes along...for myself, it wouldn't be worth it.
