That is sort of what I figured.

I do not have any concern so long as the result is a renewed life for the razor and a happy owner that is proud of it.

I work with cars and I know some SERIOUS collectors and it saddens me to see these beautiful cars sit idle...I could only appreciate them screaming down the road on on a track as they were designed to do. In the end, it is up to the owner to enjoy it as he/she pleases. Along those lines, I see a lot of classic cars being lowered and fitted with huge modern wheels...

A similar topic comes up often on knife forums. Some guy will buy a knife and then proceed to destroy it with hammers, vice, and stones in the name of testing its limits. It is not my cup of tea, but it is also not my blade
