Wild Kabeso Resto
I am reminded of hot sauce by this razor! I got it a long while back and scrubbed and oiled it. It was filthy! Now that I have finished it, I thought I would share. I have not seen one like it before! The "before pic" was taken after much crud was removed! I think the orange colorant was molded in as I could not scrape off the bit outside of the front bottom bolster! The blade had some light pitting which was removed with a light 600 compound and the tang has been re-blued. Lots of hand work with Maas made the scales shine.Thanks for looking

Great job. I have a Kabeso too, one Max restored from a 7 day set. They are nice shavers. I'll use it for my Soligen SOTD. Thanks for sharing.

That's is so well done and so good looking! Excellent work; you brought out the best of this razor.
I want one like it now. You have ruined me for all other razors... I will never be the same.
