Found this razor on eBay and just had to have it.

It was in really nice condition but the scales have seen better days. They are still usable and work just fine. I really love the blade etching and design.

I unpinned it, polished up the scales the best I could, polished the blade and put it all back together.

Now just have to hone it up and am going to try it out tonight.

Enjoy the pics.

Thanks guys. I was so happy when I got it and it cleaned up pretty nicely. It's all honed up now and I'm going to give it a shave tonight.

Sweet! Good job!

Nice restoration and now curious to see what you think of the shave. Looks like you're in for a good one.

**rmalak** · 04-30-2012, 11:44 PM

I'll report later tonight how the shave goes. If it shaves half as good as it looks it should be pretty darn good.

**ReardenSteel** · 04-30-2012, 11:55 PM

Very nice and congrats on a sweet looking razor.

I have had my first shave with this razor tonight. I have to say that it shaved very nicely but my honing let it down somewhat. Once dialled in this is going to be a very nice addition. Thank you for all the kind comments.
