To say they're striking doesn't begin to do them justice. Looking at the Aristocrat, it's like stepping back in time and seeing it for the first time.  Enjoy these two beauties. Happy2

I thought I'd re-post these before pictures as a reminder of what the starting point was - I feel honoured to be able to restore these beauties to their original state and I feel blessed to that we have people like Chris at RazorPlate and CAP who have the skill and passion to execute the restorations.

Thanks John, I'm not sure if you saw the razors in their intermediate, stripped down state so here they are - stripped down before cleaning and after cleaning.  The third picture is of the new end cap soldered on to the aristocrat.  The fatboy was pretty grungy.
