Thread: My Personal Gotta Finally lookin' Good

This was my second razor, but that was before my restoration addiction.
It was sent off to Onimaru55 for honing the day after I bought it after just a light cleaning. It has has served my faithfully for 2 years but I decided it deserved some attention.
Some restorations end up being easier than you expect them to be, and some are more work than you anticipate. This was the later. There was more pitting than I expected to find, and there are still some visible traces on the blade, but it looks a whole lot better that it used to.
Blade was hand sanded and polished, scales were given a light sand, buffed and polished.
The spacer wedge is the original and I left the third pin in through the whole process.
Nickel-silver pins on S/Steel washers.

Beautiful restore Grant. That Gotta looks better than new mate. Certainly back to her former glory. Great shavers too. Well done.

Great work. Looks fantastic. I think I "Gotta" get me one of those.

Beautiful! I think Gotta's are one of the best kept secrets. Mine has been in the rotation for years.... And it willstaythere for many more.

Grant, It looks amazing. It's a huge turnaround from the before pics. Great job man....it really sparkles.

Looking good, nice work Grant

Very well done. Love the hammer too. :-)

Man, Grant! I gotta hand it to you! A fine job!

Great looking restore!! It's almost like shaving with a newly acquired razor

These WERE everywhere over here too... passed on a lot of nice ones. lo and behold now that I want one I can't find any!

Great restore! and excellent photos to boot.
