First Restoration Project
It's still fairly shiny, I can't feel any of the dark spots with my fingers and only faintly when pressing hard with a finger nail. The metal at the edge is clean but chipped. I'll be hand sanding it. Pretty bone scales with a lead wedge I would have been tempted to reuse if they hadn't been damaged. Maybe bone again or blond horn. What worries me is the huge taper from the spine to the tail 1/4 - 1/16 ! I think this is what lead to the broken rear scale as when the razor is fully rotated the thicker tang section moves behind the pivot pin to where there is only 1/16 clearance and flares the bone out. I can see leaving the scale a little thicker behind the pivot and flaring it wider on the inner faces. Anyone else have to deal with this?

I haven't started any work on it and will make use of all the great info on SRP.
Any advice or suggestions welcome!
