No, I only use the tumblers now when I want to preserve etching on razors..
Look at this thread and look at the 600 grit buffing compound level, it re-creates a factory satin (working) finish it should look familiar...
I just run them from 80-600 and they pretty much look the same as when they left the factory...

For the custom stuff I run them into the polishing compounds... Also if I were cutting that razor to a custom level I would have stayed on the 80 grit wheels much longer and tried to get more of the pitting out... You have to be careful though with hollow grinds, you can push them into the "too thin" level....
What has actually amazed me more, is now that you took pics no one has asked what the notch is for at the front of the tang
