Les, I congratulate you, sir!

This razor did indeed turn out a beautiful Swan. I honestly think the nickel plated Populars are among the most beautiful razors ever made. I prefer nickel to rhodium even. Thank you for resurrecting and preserving this one for posterity, it has been given a new lease of life and I am sure it will last another 80 years at least!
