Well my friends I got a Gottah

Hi All.As the title says I got my old fave blade back.An old Gottah.It came from ebay yesterday.Upon inspection the blade has not rust,plenty of black bits and it looks to have a slight frown.Also the pivot is loose and the scales have the start of a crack at the pivot.Any recommends on a UK restorer who can fix my blade to shave ready?I don't care if the scales have to be replaced as long as my beloved gottah blade can be fixed.I don't have the stones or the knowledge to do it myself.I'm sorry I don't have a digital camera to post pics but I think my description is good.

Btw, it's Gotta, not Gottah. ;)


They are wonderful shavers, you'll love it.
