Repair and restoration of Gotta 120 razor
This one was pretty screwed up as can be seen on photos before. I have to grind the tip to round it back. I do as much as possible to round it without any significant shortening of the blade. Original scales are polished up to 3000 grit sandpaper and with Seles fine polir paste in the end (the one that used by car painters). The blade is matte finished.

I have three Gottas, they are some of my fave razors for sure.
Super hollow singers and that Sheffield steel takes a really smooth edge.

Nice job on the repair and restore.
Ditto to Gottas being great shavers, I have a 120 also and I love it.
Well done.
