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.

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.

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?Saved,
to shave another day.

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.
A good lather is half the shave.
