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?
