Broken Bartmann brought back from beyond

[Seraphim]

Scored a very nice worked back Bartmann. Little to no hone wear. A bit of corrosion, but nothing outrageous.

I gave my new find a caress, and then rubbed is a bit with acloth and polish to see what was what with the corrosion....

*snap*!



The tip corner came off right in my hand! Full hollow? Oh my yes!




Tip and scale tail nip-tuck.


Shortened the blade (now 2 1/4" cutting edge), but that made the scales look waaay too long for the blade. And the scales are cool 3-pin Bartmann originals. So, I shortened the scales in-situ, and went pinless there too. I usually like the blade to wedge to be a bit tighetr than this turned out, but what can you do sometimes.

There was a fair bit of pitting under that gold wash seen above, and due to my original tradgedy I did not go after it that agressively!. Semi-shine-satin finish. Still needs a honing and a test drive to see what this wafer-thin blade can do!

That is a very attractive razor. Great job reviving the dead.
