It probably is not a stretch to say that this blade is better than when it first left the factory .

There has always been a special place in my eyes for a well done Vintage restore, Don't get me wrong I love doing the customs, but taking one back to looking like the day it left the factory is a pretty cool feeling...
Way to go you just saved a piece of history....

It's a long road from 80 - 2000 grit ain't it ?
Excellent job !

Excellent! Yes I can see why you'd call it quits, nothing more left than a hone and strop...

Sir, you have set the bar impossibly high on a first restore. I have one that I am about to start on and now I have my goal set.
Very very nice!

Thanked: 40 First Restore
Thank you all for your kind comments.... Only the artist knows exactly where all the imperfections are... It was absolutely a lot of fun and worth doing.. I encourage everyone to do this at least once...by hand.... so as to appreciate the art and effort put forth to create some of these beautifully restored andtique and custom razors!
And once again... thanks to all of you who I pestered with questions and concerns about all aspects of straight razor restoration...I imagine I'll need your help again soon..
Enjoy your weekends....
Sincerely, Maq
