The pivot is wobbly and the scales are chipped along the edges. The patina is, for the most part, nice and even.



What would you do? Tighten the pin and hone or a full restore? Something in between?

Please, for the love of God, do NOT restore that. It is too good to mess with. Tighten the pins and hone it up. That razor will always be better the way it is than if it is restored.

If there was active rust or the scales were broken my answer would change. That is so nice and original the way it is.
