Thanks Everyone! So my next question, I want to restore it a bit and take it to the buffing wheel. However, I really don't want to mess up the etching. Because there's almost no pitting at all, I was thinking of just starting with some jeweler's rouge. Do you think that would leave the etching alone? I doesn't even look like it was hardly stamped at all. Any recommendations?

If it were mine I would not take it near a buffing wheel ! Perhaps a hand polishing with MAAS or White Diamond polish and neatsfoot oil soak on the scales.

Congrats on both accounts. I agree, hand polish only, it should clean up pretty easy.

Thanked: 237Absolute steal! I finally found one and paid exponentially more than that. Great razor and one of my best shavers. No need to take that one to the buffing wheel. Like others have said, just hand polish and take good post shave care. I am curious as to if those are original scales though. I've had several big blade WB, and they all have had square shape scales for the wedge. Either way, still amazing!

My 1¢ buy some .5 and .3 lapping film and use pieces of it wet to get an overall sheen. Then some polishing compound by hand. A bit of pumice grit wet on a rag for the scales and you have a beautiful razor and nothing smeared away by heat and grit build up. Anothe razor well saved and ready for another few generations.
