The one set looks really nice except for the missing paint. Is the embossing worn away there or is the paint just flaking off? If the latter, I would be tempted to try repainting and then use some high grit paper on a block to clean it up make it all "nice and pretty."

There is still some embossing left where the paint is gone and the hot pin test says they are horn so they should polish up very nice and easy. There is one chip on the back near the wedge but it's not a deal breaker. Having the opportunity to make improvements is a game changer. It increases my personal attachment to the razor when I work on them, it makes them feel more "mine" than just another purchase.

I'll research repainting them.

"The Old English Razor" is worse off though, it is warped as well as chipped and they look too small for the blade as well.
