Dang! A regular window weight! What a beast! Anchor? Birmingham? Early production?

I have cleaned the razor last night. Yes, I'm going to try to stay as close to the original as possible. Originally Posted by rickmccarey

It must be the light in combination with the patina. Originally Posted by pixelfixed

When I get home, I'll do a closer inspection.Last edited by sashimi; 09-06-2013 at 11:21 AM. Reason: merged posts

Thanked: 148 The "After" pictures
Here are some more pictures after the clean-up.
There are no cracks even after very close inspection. Only one deep pitting spot on the face of the blade. The rest of the patina is superficial.
I took a progression from 1500-1200-800-600-400 grit paper, particularly in that order, not to take off too much metal.
At this point I felt I was taking away the integrity of the blade and worked my way up again in 400-600-800-1000-1200-1500 grit paper.
I don't mind for a blade this old to actually show its age and really didn't want a mirror finish. After the clean-up I went to bevel setting on a heavy slurry coticule followed by refining the edge on a thinner slurry and water with the finishing touch on the Thuringian stone. The scales were treated with neatsfoot oil to revive them somewhat. I did not unpin the razor. A fine shaver.
