    I know about Glen Mercurio. Glen has a great rep. Who are some other vintage razor restorers. What are expected costs for a polish and restore job on a vintage Puma like the one attached.
    I just built a great edge on my Puma, but I'd like it to be restored. There's an ugly black spacer at the end of the scales I'd like removed and replaced with one more in keeping with the scale color.

    Thank you Gary @brit - those are very kind words!
    I just have fun and mess around with things. I would hate to mess up your razor, so the Pro's mentioned (Glen and Doc226) are tops in their game... Can't get much better than them.

    I don’t have first hand dealings, but I have seen the work he has done for Steve @Steve56 and it is the highest quality.
