Hi,

Thanks for nice words.

I didn't know does razor have some geometry problems. So I decide to hone without tape to correct that problems if they accure.

Ive done that before, then taped for touch ups. But I usually tape from beginning, to stop anymore unnecessary spine wear.
But it still looks great.[emoji6] [emoji482]

Very nice restoration.
Those are beautiful lignum vitae scales.
I would love to learn more about how you laser etched the logo onto the scales. Could you elaborate a bit?
Thanks for sharing.

Nice touch on the laser etch. But why not use the original scales?

Nice work on the razor! Your scales have great grain, and the logo is a nice finisher.

Nice work. Did you also lazer engrave the original black scales or was that lettering original?

Thanks guys!

Lettering on plastic scales was original.

Thanks Davor!
Pretty interesting short clip.
I'm pretty sure that I will never have a machine with that capability. If I ever need to have it done I will seek out a professional as well.
