    In Brazil it is very difficult restoration of razors, does not meet materials here and nor products, in Brazil he does not have many razors, are few the people who like, but I intend to change this. They comment and they help me please.
    They forgive me plus my English is bad excessively
    Ale

    Nice look to it...

    That took some doing on the pins as it looks like you did an old fashioned style and used no lock washers....
    I have had to do it that way a couple of times to match a pin on a vintage razor, it is not easy to do Good Job !!


    This is not a criticism just a hint...
    The only thing I see that I would have for sure done different is the pivot does not seem to have bearing washers, I would have used the larger thinner vintage style to keep the tang from messing up the inside of the acrylic over time..


    Good Looking Restore ....

    Your English is not so bad. It's perfectly understandable.

    Thanks a lot, as I said here in Brazil I do not have many resources, I made what I could. But I promise to improve in next ok.
    Yes it is a Filarmonica 13. I made the pins and collar from a brass rod, in the Brazil I do not have pins and collar here to buy, I I had that to make. This is my first restoration.
    Thanks
    Ale

    That's an awesome first go! Most people use brass rod & peen it themselves.. It's far cheaper the buying pins.
