Very nice
did the blade require much clean up?

A fair amount of cleaning, I also removed the toe, prefer the more aggressive look you get with a straight edge.

I was about ready to set up another search for ATOR's before I read you changed the toe.
This is one of the only Round Point razors that resides in my personal collection, they are that good a shaver, I can overlook the Round Point...
You did a nice job on the restore
The pins look very nice, very tight clean workmanship !!!

Very good work! I have Ator with original scales and round toe. It's not that beautiful.

Ators seem downright sexy to me. I, too have a round point in 7/8. By all means do what you personally like, though. Those scales are surely bright! Almost looks like a flame job. The pins way out on the ends are different. I expect fine with acrylic. Nice work.
"Don't be stubborn. You are missing out."
I rest my case.

That's a sweet looking razor Jamie

Very nice! I'm pretty sure that blade is one I had on my watch list on ebay UK but I'd already spent my budget elsewhere by the time the auction ended. Glad I didn't end up competing with you if I'm right.
Regards
Nic

You are spot on there Nic I did have that on Ebay, it was a nice blade only needed a little work on it. Nice to hear your holiday went well, and the surf boarding in devon, picked up on your poor mobile net work over on the TSR.
Cheers Jamie.Last edited by celticcrusader; 08-16-2011 at 01:43 PM.
