I wholeheartedly agree with RezDog's comments on the TI as to maintaining the original patina and just having it honed. TI is a very reputable brand and produced very good razors. Honed it should give a wonderful shave.

The L'Essor in the same condition as the TI. That is a very interesting SE and I have not seen one before. If it is like the SEs that I have it should also turn out to be an excellent shaver. Be interesting to know what blade they originally took. Be sure and post how it shaves for you.

Here's a post I put together about the L'Essor - including a video that shows the original blade and how it's loaded
