All is cool, Steve. No worries! Every one of us has our issues. We understand and can see what some mean, no matter how they say it. To tell the truth, we all had comments of how Roberto embraced it, scars, repairs, and all. That is what makes it special.
Quit worrying around here! It is in the rules! (somewhere!)"Don't be stubborn. You are missing out."
I rest my case.

I would like to thank the OP for a really nice restoration...just cleaned, stabilized, and put back together.
I call these hard time razors and try to find and get them operating with minimal new stuff.
Here is one, soft wood, Horse tack copper rivets and washers; James Codfer, VCrownR <1901
Saving the story the razor can tell is important!
Thank you again!

Thanked: 480]What a beautiful razor. What some might see as mistreated, I call "well loved" Over the years somebody took the time to repair, and repair repeatedly. Likely as not across more than a single generation. They made due with what was at hand, and were happy enough to continue using it. Just like Roberto has done! Great Job at keeping the love alive!

All due respect, what I said did not come out as I wanted it to. I never meant it that way & Roberto knows this because I wrote him & explained it. He has no problem with it. I do not see it as mistreated! Roberto is a great guy and has fantastic workmanship. I have apologized to Roberto & everyone else on here for my incorrect wording so I see no more reason to keep talking about it. I'm done with it. Magpie, I respect you as a friend & I always will. We all make mistakes & no one is perfect.
God bless everyone & keep the talent alive!
