CT Bingham Tally Ho

[ejmolitor37]

So I bought and shared this razor some time ago and finally got things wrapped up.
This razor came with no washers on the pins, now try as I might I could not get a 1/16 pin to mushroom enough to work. Also since the scales cracked at the pivot I used washers to try and strengthen that back up. Glued the cracks and sanded the scales a bit just to clean them up. I did not soak in neats foot, the blade is not perfect so I didn't feel the scales should be taken to that level. Original lead wedge and scales, went for the satin look on the blade face and I am happy with it. The rest is polished but there are still pits and character throughout.
All in all I'm leaving her patina and blemished. Honed through 12k and headed off for test shave.
Thanks for looking gents.
