    #1 Mirror finishes on restores are rarely actually mirror
    #2 Looking at many many Vintage razors tells me Mirror finishes were pretty rare
    #3 Polished out satin finishes tend to hide the old scars better on restores


    But hey they are your razors so it is your choice

    Personally, my goal is to make the finish look as good as possible to compliment the razor and that in my eyes is rarely mirror
