Thread: Fenney Tally Ho Restore or Not ?

I never thought I'd make one of these posts, but I need some opinions. Should I restore this or preserve it as is? I don't really want to start collecting straights, as I'm wanting to intensely start my razor making. I'm just not sure what I want to do. Opinions, observations, jack-*** statements all welcome. What's kind of cool about it as it is, is that the scales cracked sometime in this razor's past and was repaired very successfully by someone. I can just imagine someone who needed to keep his razor working and didn't have the money to buy a new one. The blade still centers!! The blade pictures are after about 15 minutes with Mother's polish. The blade reflections are to show the pitting. I'm going to hit it with some 800 grit tomorrow and see how the pits respond.
