Default 1st full restore
I picked up this razor while in Hawaii and true to form everything there rusts.


I took a flapwheel to the blade moving up from 120 Grit to 240 and finally 360. Trying to get off as much of the pitting and still leave the etching. Thanks to the TSA and airlines the scales didn't make it home in one piece. The scales are bloodwood and the spacer is one I cut from raw amber, shaped and polished myself.


Raw Amber


Wedge cut

Fine looking razor.
I like the amber. Could go well with blonde horn scales too.
