A moment of silence for those sweet bone scales.

Wow, great restore. Like the others, I love the finger grip scales.
I'm curious about what made you pick that one up at the antique store? I haven't tried a restore yet, but I don't think I would have tried that razor on a bet! It looked beat before you worked on it.

I will usually pick up any vintage razor, I see if the blade is not badly chipped and the pits are not to deep, under $30.00. I don't care what the scales look like. I was lucky on this one, the rust was mostly just surface rust. Hand sanding took 90% of it off. I had good advice out of Vegas(Max) on how to repair the damaged , oversized pivot hole.

Very tidy job. Your pinning is nice and tight, and the finish on the scales is great. Well done.

Nice work! The scales are very individual. Keep beating on it! It will come around! COOL!

I rest my case.
