BTW...I saw the 'Superior Temper' razor that you just posted up in the 'Clubs' sub-forum. It's a Beauty! That one is perfect for an 'original' restore like this one!

I agree. I am planning to keep as much as possible, including the scales, bug bites and all.
It will challenge my skills. I need to drill out the pins to save the washers.

I was interested in knowing what you use to work the blade? Hand sanding? Machine? Tumbler?
I usually use SP around a cork, mounted on a drill. Starting at 600 grit, 800, 1000, 1500, 2000. then 3000 by hand, and white polish on buffer. Then Mothers on buffer.

Ever fill any bug bites? I was thinking of sanding down some horn and mixing the dust with CA.
