That one has seen better days. Can't wait to see what it looks like after you get it cleaned up.
The rescue is half the fun.
Plus I got it for a STEAL!Quote:

Now all you need to do is match the paint in the scale etching & paint over it, then sand it down with some very fine sandpaper! It would look like a new razor!
Something like this?:Quote:

Nothing EXTRAVAGANT just a nice mild refresh/restore.
It is a 6/8
I will shave with it tomorrow.
From the little touch ups I have been doing it "SHOULD" shave pretty nicely!
We will see....:shrug:
To my mind that is what a restore is. Still original/ period, just new looking.Quote:

I cleaned up this blade some & honed it. This is the results.
Shaved with this today.
WOW! :tu
SMOOTH AS BUTTER!
