The John Barber came in the mail today, and the ebay pics don't do it justice. It's in great condition, with tight, intact scales, no play in the pivot area, and a little hone wear, but not much.

For now, I'm just going to wrap it up and put it away. I'm not sure how to clean it without damaging anything. There is some surface rust around the pivot area, and the scales could use a good high-grit sanding. The pins are nice and tight, and actually look nice; I don't want to take the razor apart.

Should I just try and clean it up while it's still assembled? I'll try and get some pics tomorrow.
