Thread: W&B in original Black Horn

This one showed up with some "interesting" grinds along the spine. I took care of that.
The client wanted to keep the original scales so I took care of them as well along with reusing the original wedge.
I made up some triple stacks for the wedge and doubles for the hinge.
In the photos you'll see a "selfie" which I took as I was working towards a nice finish.
Also the scales they came out rather nice for being the originals. The reflections are the energy bulb in my swing arm lamp and the blueish streaks are pairs of fluorescent bulbs 10 ft up on the ceiling.

Over polished to some but just right to others. At least there are no more grind marks and rust.

The finished blade. I made triple stacks for the wedge and used doubles for the hinge.

Awesome work, and razor!!!!

Beautiful...not over polished as far as I'm concerned, it's nice and clean....I can just see the water beading off that blade!

Sweet restore.

Thanks.
And yes, water beads. As most know a polished blade has much less chance of rusting.

Not a true restore as I don't think they looked like this from the factory. But a client likes it! Could have backed it down to factory looking specs. But.....

Looks good! Pretty shiny, but I will say that 4 or 5 years will have it looking patina proper. Nicer than before, for certain. Nice one.

Wow. I wish I hate the ability to do that.

That's a sexy razor.

Very nice. I still amazes me how some old horn scales can shine with alittle sanding and some polish.
