    Default Persian restoration

    Hi there i'm brand new to the forums here so hope these pics show up ..
    Been straight razor shaving for about a year now .
    I have 3 old restored razors now , just picked up this persian one for $15 !
    Cleaned it up and honed , had a shave allready turned out to be best shave yet !
    super happy with this one , i dont think it had ever been used ? Judging by the tip.
    anyways hope you like .
    Any info would be appreciated ... It came in half a army navy box . Dont know if this is origonal ?
    Cheers

    A very nice find indeed!

    As for the razor coffin (box), more often than not antique blades are found in non-matching boxes so it's very likely that it doesn't belong to your razor.

    Nonetheless, enjoy your new razor

    The etching is really cool.
    Mastering implies there is nothing more for you to learn of something... I prefer proficient enough to not totally screw it up.

    Thanks , had the best shave with it . Really thin edge , took very little work to hone . Makes me think it was never used .
