    This is NOT a criticism of your restoration. It's just my preference that before and after shots be done at the same angle and same lighting so that the restoration, rather than the photography, can be assessed.
    Um...thanks?
    What can I say? The razor stirred up some creativity once it was finished.

    Just for you Utopian, I took boring pictures trying to capture the worst of the flaws. These pics are the best I can do before I rush off to the hospital.

    As you can see, there is still a remnant of the pitting on the blade and tang noticeable at certain angles. Like I said before, I like to make my vintage razors pretty, but with hints that they have been around the block once or twice. I personally think this one strikes the balance fairly well. Enjoy!?
