    The pictures of the "you lather well, I'll shave well" dont do it justice it is in excellent condition. There are a few light mares on the back and one on the front I dont know if I should clean it up or leave it be I dont want to damage any of the frosting. Do you have any Ideas on polishing it some or should I leave it be. Would it be bad to put it on the buffer?

    Great score !!. Take some metal polish on a paper towel and no more to clean the lather well up. It took 150 years to get that patina .... polishing it up like a new dime isn't necessary or advisable IMHO.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    Nice scores! I really like the frosting or etch or whatever on the first one.

    Thanks for sharing.
