    Yeah, it is. I used lemon juice, lime juice and warm vinegar!

    How come you stopped at the blade? Why not all of the metal?

    I did do all the razor apart from the frame. The frame is of course a different metal; not carbon steel...

    The photo just looks a bit like you stopped at the tang, must just be light or reflections or something. At first I thought it was my razor, well shapewise anyway, they are a bit similar, though I think the tang on yours is a different shape.

    It would have to be my ivory le grelot.

    Got it as a wedding day gift from the wife and used it for the first time on my wedding day.

    My favorite shaver is a Torrey 5/8 quarter hollow with barber notch. It's not pretty or expensive but it is an awesome shaver.

    Thanks! She surprised me with those also. We saw a woman's necklace with the straight razor on it and I thought it was cool. Little did I know she contacted the jewellery maker after and asked if she could have the razors made into cufflinks.

    I wear them every chance I get.

    Yeah, the tang isn't as patterned. They are very similar is shape, this one is a little wider...

    I have had many nice razors pass through my hands and have some nice vintage razors but I pretty much only shave with my two 6/8 DBQ's and love the shaves
