First Restore

I finished my first restore this evening and wanted to share with everyone. I have learned alot in the process, and have a long ways to go, but I am excited. I didn't get pictures of when I purchased it from a local antique mall ($9.00), but the Wade and Butcher had slight rusting and light pitting. There was also three nicks in the blade. The pinning was the fun part, but the one pin is a little low. I still need to MAAS the blade. Enjoy, and thanks to everyone who posted videos and forum posts on razor restoration.

You did good, She looks like she will polish up just fine.
That's a Wade & Butcher Bow Razor, for $9.00, a steal!!! She's a keeper.
Thanks for sharing.
