I just want to say that restoration started to be analized in detail during the XIX century, when the relationship between present buildings and ancient ones started to become difficult (what could be destroyed to make new space?). At the beginning of the XX c. the question was extended to arts and then to common objects from the past, adapting to new fields principles elaborated by architecture. OK, this is an historical overview.. With the poll I just wanted to investigate which are your tastes when restoring a razor or buying a vintage razor. And a poll is always a simplification of real things.

So now I have just to apologize for the new errors in the paragraph above.
Noting what I have highlighted in the above quote, if it is a mistake due to the fourth language I apologize ,,,,,,,, but that is the characteristic of the best restorers IMHO .
