Hello everyone, I hope your day is going well. I have an old razor that I would like to have restored. The blade has rust and a bit of light pitting. The scales (Ivory), however, are in wonderful shape and are adorned with beautiful floral brass washers. There are optimists in the world that say anything is possible but realistically speaking, can an adequate blade restoration be done without removing the scales? Also, can original washers be unpinned and re-pinned with reasonable success. I like my razors to be as original as possible but also usable. Thanks in advance...
