I won this Joseph Rodgers on eBay two weeks ago:

After some work (no machines have been used to restore except for drilling pin holes):

I first sanded them (1200 grit sandpaper) and finally I polished them with a cloth. Brass is a soft material.

Thanks for asking! :)

Veeerrrry Veerrrryy Nice!!

I've got a buddy that might sell his first born for that razor!
