    Very nice match up. Great work.
    Good judgment comes from experience, and experience....well that comes from poor judgment.

    Nice job! The razor and scales go together as an ancient creature!
    So, Brad. Is there another teeny bevel under that big one?

    There is actually. it can be quite a pain to maintain an edge with a bevel that size, so, once I got it shaving with 1 layer tape, I put a 2 layer tape microbevel with a few passes on the 8k->coti->YG Escher.

    It all comes together like it was meant to be, well done.

    How many sets of scales did that block yield?

    MJC, one. There is a possibility of another set; but, I'm sending the remaining material back to the customer and I won't be finding out if I'm right

    If I could trade my olfactory senses, smelling that rotten smell for the remainder of my life only to shave with that beauty, I would... Actually, only if I could call her mine! Great job!
    Sippin' on some slurry.
