Thread: To Restore or Not To Restore

Most has already be said to the subject.

I frequently always get asked the same question but for me it boils down to this. If you're going to be shaving and using the razor with no real intention to sell but enjoy the razor as part of your collection/rotation then go ahead, restore, clean and or replace the scales if you desire. If your intentions are keep it for looks and collectability with maybe an occasional shave then keep as original as possible.

Wow! I love all of these answers. I expected a spirite debate and was not dissapointed. I just received a shipment of 20 razors in varying states of repair. Rest assured, when I review them, the things I have read here will influence the actions that I take.

Thanks again!
