Thread: So, what exactly am I looking at?

Hello SRP,

I just purchased my first straight from an antique store and would like to know the following:

A.) What type of damage/wear am I looking at? There are no chips and nicks on the blade or the scales that I can see/feel
B.) What is the cost/time that would be required to make this razor look almost like new (i.e. Restoration cost for the type of work that needs to be done)?

Any insights would be greatly appreciated. Below are the pictures that I have of my razor;



I'm really looking forward to hearing what the experts say on this.

Thanks,
Natz
