Being serious for a moment though, I'd agree with "That razor would be a privilege to shave with". Nothing like shaving with a piece of history and the older the better.

I soaked the scales in oil and used WD-40 and steel wool then Mothers and steel wool. I did go through quite a bit of elbow grease. I have been picking at it a little here and there trying to decide when I was done and how much was enough. For the age of it the pitting is remarkably shallow. It would have been an easy go to sand it off and put a polished finish on it but I did not think it suited this blade. Originally Posted by bongo
