Restored Horstator 1848 straight razor.

Hi. Lovely, german razor. As you can see at the before pictures, it was in fairly good condition but it needed a bit of TLC. The blade was improperly honed. In result of that heel was wider then the toe. I had to correct that. I had to remove etching, leftovers of gold wash and fix warped scales. Before: After: Maciek.
