I hadn't realized it had been so long since I added to this thread. I've been accumulating a cigar box full of razors in need of restoration. I finally managed to clean up a couple...
The first is a Wade & Butcher Special 6/8, kept the original scales repinned the pivot with brass.

This Gold King, Made Exclusively for Gustav Kaiser, was a quick clean up. I polished up the blade (losing what was left of the gold wash) and the scales, then repinned both ends in brass. Unfortunately, the previous owner was a bit sloppy trimming the wedge and filed deep scratches to the inside of the scales.
