Thank you Sir. And those scales are beautiful! I think a brass wedge would look great in them.

I get that and I can certainly appreciate a well restored razor. I bought 2 razors that were beautifully restored by wolfpack34 (Mike). Mike does a level of work I can only hope to attain someday. ...

I'm sure it will come back, but from what I've been able to find, this razor is from somewhere between the late 1800s or early 1900s, so it would take more than 100 years to get the patina to this...

While I agree with a lot of what you say here Bruno, I also like old things that look old. To expand on that, I mean something that looks well seasoned and well cared for and is completely...

So, in the end, I decided to keep the patina on the blade and just clean it up, sanitize it, give it an oil bath for a few hours, and put as good an edge on it as I could with my limited experience. ...

OK, so next question. If I do decide just to clean it up a bit and leave the patina, does anybody know if Scrubbing Bubbles would be safe? That is my method of choice on vintage DE and SE razors,...

Well, now you have me thinking I may just clean it like I would a vintage DE razor, get it honed and possibly have the pins tightened or replaced if it even needs that, and call it good...hmmmm...

Really? You wouldn't clean it up at all? I guess it would be cool to have something that looks it's age as long as it's structurally sound and shaves well. And if the Wosty I have is any...

Hey guys, I'm still an SR noob, but coming along nicely. I currently have 1 New Boker (Arbolito), another new Boker (Elite) sitting at the post office waiting to be delivered, an 1850-1890 Geo...
