Wow! Gorgeous razor and good job restoring her!

Congrats!

Thats some blade for sure.

great job love the scales

Nice job man!! Love the pin repair. First I've actually seen! I've read it discussed here, and heard of guys using it, but haven't ever actually seen it. Good job!!

Happy Shaving!

Very nice work. Thats a beautiful razor and a very neat job on sleeving that pivot hole.

well done, I like it

Now, I have hard time thinking, leave blade satin finished as it is now or give additional polishing to mirror finish?????

Really nice work, I like the satin finish on the blade. +1 to Baldy's comment on the neat pivot sleeve, very tidy.

Great work, very nice razor.
