In the end, it will not be pretty. It will remain true to it's history. The scales will stay, but the old masking tape petrified to it will come off. The rust will come off, but the pits will remain. The edge I will hone. I will shave with it. As a testament to it's history, I will shave with it. If it rips my face to shreds, I will shave with it. This is my promise to the old boy.

Join me in the Journey!

Good luck and enjoy. Put plenty of time into it!

He's gonna need lots of tlc and you may wanna make sure your shots are up to date.. keep us posted

You'll make this old razor look great! Take the time giving it the "make over" and it will be an awesome shaver once again when you are done. And yes..... keep us posted as you progress on this journey! :)

Well, the journey has come to an abrupt halt. After getting the rust and crud off the blade, it revealed a crack in the blade right in the middle going up about 1/2 the blade. So it's done. I'll put it aside to put out if I ever make some kind of display. :mad:

Ah crap! I guess "stuff" happens! Sorry to hear that. Dang rust and crud! :banghead:
