    There is a lot to be said for repolishing even aa very old blade, if you don't reach such thin metal that it can risk disaster. That is the way it used to be, and the man who made it would have wanted it done. But I couldn't agree more about bizarre or futuristic scales, or materials which weren't available when the razor was made. We can do quite satisfying enough work with those, and it would have been dreadful to rescale one made with as good material as this.

    I agree with the majority here, that razor needed those old scales put back on. It looks just wonderful. That is a great restoration job on a very nice old razor. Congratulations.

    Exile, You have done a renewal of a seldom seen quality. The treatment of the entire project is fantastic! The razor if taken back in the day would still be the pride of any owner!
    Thank you from all of us!
