Thread: W&B in original Black Horn

Very very nice. Ok, beautiful!

That razor is thanking you for a brand new life. Totally pleasing to the eye.

This is my favorite course of action as I like the results. Never had luck with the "soak them in oil and they'll look good as new " process. Maybe I'm doing something wrong.

Not by the looks of it!

Thanks but I guess I should have said "did something wrong" as I never was able to get this look by soaking in oil. And I tried all the recommended ones. They always came out looking basically the same as they went in. Just oily feeling. Didn't care for that. I like this.

Grea work! What a pleasure to look at.

absolutely stunning is all I can see

I find also that the oil only rejuvenates the horn not make it shine I can only assume this was polished on a Buffer??
what else did you apply as your buff compound if any?

Sanded first . Then buffed. You have to use compounds on a buffer. That's what creates the cutting/polishing effect.

Great work mycarver, I always drool over what you produce.

Damn! This is spectacular. How did you get rid of the rusty spots on the spine? I've only been working on blades for a few months, and this is exactly the result I've been working towards.
