    How did you get the satin finish on the blade?

    I like the way the wedge matches the scales, All in all, the result is a mighty fine razor.

    That is beautiful. Love those scales. Are they glued to the Aluminum?

    Yep, they are. Funny thing but i used epoxy first but the scales bend a little, epoxy was too stiff. Second try, i used glue for elastic connections and it was right choice

    What does that mean? Glue for elastic connections?

    I've used a glue used by shoemakers for example. Very flexible.

    very nice scales ...

    Did you use polishing compound (eg. emery) with those dremel buffing wheels, which was it? Do those wheels wear out quickly?
