    Default Le Grelot I bought today.

    This is the first straight razor I have bought in ages. I think I did rather well. Le Grelot. Before after pics. Just had some haze, no real rust issues and no pits. I need to buy a wrecked blade and cannibalize the scales. These are warped and one shrunk a bit it seems. Lovely shape to this razor.

    Too bad about the scales but I love the blade profile.

    I think you did rather well also. Looks to be worth it for the blade alone which should clean up well with a minimum of effort and take a fine edge. With a nice pair of replacement scales she would be a classic rescue.
