Beautiful - love them both, I have the exact same Elliot - the whole mystical Silver Steel....beautiful job.
Wondering where the heck you've been, hope things are on the mend, best wishes always....
And that French Frame backed razor...love it, and knowing the edge you and I'm positive 10Pups could put on those blades...very stellar job indeed.:D
Glad to see BOTH of you guys are still around and producing SUPERIOR restores.
Awesome work as per usual!
Thanks! It was a fun project...Quote:

This one was pretty rough when it came to me but it turned out OK...and it will be a real nice shaver. The edge is stellar. We just finished the honing together today and I brought 'em home to give them both a little 'stropping magic' before they get sent on their way.Quote:

Hey Karl! Thanks my friend for the 'thumbs up'. Yes as to removing the blade. It was pretty well rusted tight, BUT although the screw was missing it is a removable blade so it came out OK. Luckily I had a screw from another 'junk' frame-back that worked perfectly as a replacement. I used a very thin and very small knife edge wheel that was impregnated with a grit compound that cleaned out the groove that the blade fits in. Worked quite well!Quote:
