Restoration of a Rusty Vintage Straight Razor

Restored and New Ebony and Brass Handle.

Restoration of a vintage straight razor made in the 1950s or 1960s. The blade is very rusty. The handle is just celluloid, chipped, faded, and hasn't aged well. I decided to make a new one from brass and Gaboon ebony.
I added a matte gold logo with electroplating and steel blackener, using vinyl stencils.
