"Tattoos with a rusty needle done here"..
Nope I have seen what that black stuff looks like under magnification, and you all can have them all, I don't care what you guys say that thing would never shave my face... and please don't even tell me "But the edge is clean"
Hmmmmmm maybe that's why I started restoring razors in the first place :)
Now if it were going to go in a display that is different, but then I would have just stabilized it against further degradation and sealed it up to look at...
Hint: From a gun nut, you really don't want to store that in leather, more guns have been destroyed that way than any other :)
