    Default mappin brothers restore in mokume

    mappin brothers in mokume. the blade had a bad regrind by a previous owner and needed a complete workover. touched up the whole blade as light as I could go to just get below the worst regrind marks then all hand sading up to 2000 grit wet/dry and hand polished. the mokume scales got the same treatment. nice little shaver once again!

    Very nice! Mappin's are such great shavers, and that looks to be a real treat to shave with. Love that blade profile!

    Nice work! Those scales are different, in a good way!

    Good judgment comes from experience, and experience....well that comes from poor judgment.
