As I restore a vintage SR I have often wondered what the original finish of the blade was: high polish mirror shine or a matt finish...or somewhere in between. I suppose there is no way of knowing what the original really looked like in most cases, but I wonder how far should I go in trying to polish the blade. I must admit a high gloss mirror blade looks pretty neat, but was that the original state of the razor? What are your thought on this? I ask this question as I am about to restore a vintage George Butler Trinity works SR...pic below...
