JrJoeD and I restored the Fredrick Rodgers and what looks to be John Wat..., maybe Watt. Rodgers got a grind and buff. It also had damaged scales that we restored while keeping some of the patina (bug bites) intentionally. Hope to have it in show and tell today if we can get to take pics. The Watt's was just buffed and honed. Both razors were finished honed on a very fine grained CF gifted to us by Oldengaerde. An excellent edge and the CF will now be part of my honing lineup. Thank you Oldengaerde!
