My first restoration.

A friend gave me this blade to restore for him and to hone as well, I have do neither before and its been over a year since I last used a straight.
The blade is a wedge 6/8, Sheffield steel, Bird&Co.

I decided not to take too much steel off the razor so as to keep some of the weight still there, as you can see some pitting still evident, but I kinda like that.
I was happy at how the micarta came out for my first attempt. the copper and perspex was just some stuff I had lying around so I decided to use them as the spacer, saves throwing stuff out lol.

Good job and congratulations on being successful in 2 firsts at the same time. You are very daring sir.

Welcome back to SR shaving as well.

I really did the copper and micarta combo with the squared off handle. Good job sir!

Nice looking restoration really like the copper.

Very nice, the copper is a great touch.

Thanks for the kind words.

I like the color or the copper, Nice contrast.
I may just have to try it out.

Very nicely done !!

I agree, the copper looks awesome!
