    Default Frederick's Celebrated (and a Genco) Restore

    I know it's been a long time but I still like to try my hand at a restore when life permits me enough time to do so. I recently restored two razors but made a grave restoration sin by not getting before pictures of the Genco, so I'm going to just pile them both into one thread to fill it out.

    The Genco metal was in similar condition to the Frederick's but the black plastic scales were in much better condition, I had to repair a crack by the pin that runs through the tang and do a little sanding and polishing but very little work on these scales.

    I know I didn't get like new results on the Frederick's scales but I wanted to try an save them as I believe these are real shell. So although the scales are not perfect all part on both razors are working and original parts restored to functional condition, no more divots and the end of the scales no longer have tat gap (even had the opportunity to shave with the Genco, powerful little razor).
