Old repairs

Was happy to find these razors and kinda like this repaired one the most as that clearly took quite some patience. Inspiring really. Did they poke these through before soldering/brazing them onto that thin plate I wonder? Must have been frustrating to do all that and have it crack anyway.

Definitely curious to see any interesting old repairs you've happened upon...

I don't have any, but I always find it interesting that even 50 years ago, people went into great lengths to repare things rather than just replacing the scales.

Thanks for sharing!

Yeah, that is quite a repair. I don't have any interesting repairs to share. Having done a long stint at knife repair/restoration, I have not developed the desire to do that with razors.
