Worcester Razor, my 1st restore
Picked a simple one for the 1st restore. Some light pits and rust. Learned to unpin and pin scales. I worked as a gunsmith for several years so the metal work came easy. Stamping is still crisp. Careful unpinning allowed me to use the original washers. I think the scales are bakelite so I could not do much with the chip where the toe of the blade enters the scales. Seems to be a common area for scale damage on old razors. A fun project and I learned from it.
Here is a before and after picture.

I still have the bevel to set. Hope to shave with it this Sunday. My advise to someone new at this like me is read the stickys. Thanks to all that contributed to them. They kept me out of trouble. There is quit a bit of info there and of course there is more than one way to skin a cat.
