Restored by Joe Lowett. When I got it it had the ugliest grind marks imaginable and the scales were functional but toast. The scales are now black acrylic with a orange liner.

The Loved doing the restore on this one, the barlow is an excellent quality blade then took a flawless mirror polish. The scales fit the blade perfectly IMO. heres a couple additional pics i had laying around. Enjoy the razor Nelson! Attachment 122287Attachment 122288
Cool thing about this razor is it magnetic too!!!
I thought that was pretty cool too.
I finally got around to honing it, first I tried a how far can I push Tsushima nagura experiment, I wanted see if I could shave comfortably at that point of the progression (the answer is yes BTW.) I killed the edge, reset the bevel using my Striped Iyoto Toishi followed by Mikawa Shiro Spotted Botan, Asano Tenyjou, Mejiro, Tsushima, Koma, Wikasa Tomo on my Umaji, 30/60 Cotton/English Bridle.
