I'm definitely keeping it as a daily shaver. I'll see how the scales clean up with some fine sandpaper and some oil. I DO have some ideas for new scales though that I'm dancing with... don't know what a razor like this is worth so I don't know if it'd be worth putting mammoth or walrus scales on, but I like toying with the idea. I really want to learn to restore the edge of a razor like mine, so I'll probably buy some cheap ones from local antique shops to practice on before fixing this one but I want to do the work myself.
