This will be my 3rd restoration but the first in about 9 or 10 months since I hurt my thumb. I had to do occupational therapy and let it heal so I took some time off.

B. Worth & son's 5/8 hollow ground Gentleman's Favorite. I soaked this in Evaporust overnight then did light hand sanding with 400, 600 and 800 wet dry to keep the nice patina and let it show it's age. I didn't want to go for the mirror finish on this one at all. I paired it up with some plastic faux Ivory scales I found at and antique store that had no blade with them. So this was a quick job and not too taxing on my thumb.

That turned out really nice. I like that you kept the patina on it. Certain razors look better with patina and that is one of them.

The contrast of the patina with the polished edge and spine is just amazing!!!! Good job!

Very nice, love the contrast of the patina with the fresh edge.

Did you use a paint or acid on the etching to make it stand out?

No That is just the patina left in the etching after the light sanding of the blade.

Thats very nice, love how the edge and spine is visible on that great platina.
A great restore.
