    That was, and now is again, a beautiful razor. Great save.

    Yeah, I'm pumped to see how it shaves, and I'm even more excited to hear that it's by a VERY old company! So cool!

    Oh yes, very nice! And if my experience is anything to go by, totally worth the effort to bring it back into use. I very much hope that one of these superlative blades will come my way again, and I'll be able to keep it.

    As usual a great restoration Sir!
    And what a razor! That thing really did it for me.
    A hefty tang and very slim, curved tail.
    I love it

    Um, all of them, any of them that have been in front of me over all these years....

    Wowww guys . The before and after shots are astonishing . Can't believe it's the same blade.

    Glen: you have outdone yourself once again (and again, and again....)

    Kasper: Congratulations. Enjoy this fine piece of work for years to come...in good health

    I picked this bad boy up from the post office this morning and I'm dying to get home to try it out. I have to be patient though...

    ...after I finish reloading those rounds. Then I can treat myself to a good shave.
