Thread: New member with first straight razor: An F.W. Engels "Perfection." Need help.

As Ron says above it looks like a perfectly good shaver, and the Perfections are known to be very smooth...

Now as a restorer I am going to point out some things that I notice, that in NO way effect the shave-ability of the razor... Just some things to look for on your next purchase...

1. The toe has un-even wear
2. The spine shows the same wear
3. Look at the pin at the pivot compared to the wedge pin see the difference??? most likely this razor did not come with these scales originally..
4. There is active rust in the pivot that needs atention...

Again none of these things adversely effect this razor being used to shave but they do effect the collectability...

You still did ok with it..
