Impressive work! Even with two layers of tape I am actually surprised the bevil came out that small. How does it shave?

Very nice. What did you use for glaze finish? I really like it.

After 600 greaseless I used LA312 Medium cut and color bar sold by Jantz on a sisal wheel. You'll have to experiment with wheel pressure to get the desired effect. I'll say I use moderate pressure. If you want more shine you can follow that with the LA348 Fine cut but the medium cut looks more like the old glaze finish to my eye.

A very comfortable shave like you would expect from Sheffield steel. Once you get the big blade moving it almost shaves on its own. Originally Posted by Ernie1980

Warms my heart to see a classic razor like that brought back to life, and what a beauty it is as well - superb job, pinged my RAD very nicely!
