Beautiful razor. Real Solingen craftmanship. This blade looks bigger than it actually is. It is 13/16 but it looks like 7/8 at least. The tang is very narrow and it’s fool the eye. Unfortunetely the blade is very thin and i couldn’t remove all of pitting. It was just like working on safety razor blade. Anyway it turn out quite ok. Bog oak and aluminium scales, pearl acrylic wedge, nickel- silver pins and stainless steel washers.

Nicely done. Blade looks like a bellied hollow?

Very understated restore. To my eye it looks very clean. :tu

Thanks. BobH, maybe a liitle bit. Anyway, it's so thin that i was worried that i will break it on some stage. Like a safety razor blade :)

Know what you mean by thin and the worry about cracking it. If you can feel a slight bulge running longitudinally on both sides in the grind about 1/3 the way up from the blade edge it is bellied. That is there to strengthen extra hollow ground blades. That should turn out to be a very nice shaving and noisy razor.

It's a beauty. Well-Done! :beer1:

Awesome sauce! You did a GREAT job. And, that bog oak came out super cool. Two thumbs way up! :tu:tu

Very nice. The bog oaks goes really well with the razor and I like how you left it rough.

Really nice job all round there Rob, scales, pinning, liners and, of course the blade looks like a good shaver.

I like that. It is difficult with the very thin blades. I have gone to far before, chasing the pitting and the blade wound up so thin and flexible that I just threw it out. Sometimes the pitting is the best solution.

Well said. Learned the hard way, few times.

That looks NICE!!!!! Is that what you wold call "tin foil" thickness? Gotta worry about hand sanding though the thing, no? LOL

Honed it yesterday evening. Unicot on coticule, white TI paste on balsa, linen and leather. Very smooth shaver.

Maciek.

Nice job. Do you mind sharing info where did you get this thin aluminium sheets used for liners.

Thanks.

I speak a little polish, but I understand more than I speak if you know what I mean.

My girlfriend is Polish,
I saw the post on Brzytwa very elegant indeed, Whats the Bog oak like to work with??

Very good.
Bog oak is quite hard wood. Maybe not that hard as ebony but still quite hard. Normaly i like to finish bog oak with danish oil using this method:

Super Smooth Oil Finish | Article | Woodworking

It is very smooth finish because you are closing wood pores when wet sanding with oil. But this time i used only bee's wax. I wanted open grain, natural finish.
