Thread: Few bucks in Arequipa, Peru and...

... I have in hands something that will require lots of elbow grease just to be usable again. Gentlemen, I am pretty used to handle Solingen and Swedish hollows, and I am surprised with the huge amount of steel it is! Beeefy! I always wondered how could a lead wedge help to imbalance a razor blade... well... living and learning. This thing is made like a rail.
Now I have to think on how to make this thing shave happily again without messing with the amazing engravings and removing just enough steel to make it a shaver again. The scales are in great shape, and the patina is awesome.
