HAR! I coulda put more tape on the spine, Mike!
Your rattler seems to have little wear on it!
It always amazes me at the worn things bringing so much coin.
A good bevel is key....
Seriously, I have a 1 layer rule. I wear-in a layer and then add one. Wear that one in!
Change it, but leave the worn bottom one there. Most I go.
This one is 1 layer honed blade. Changed as-needed.
A bit wide for a newer Solinger, but not so bad for an old Sheffield?
I don't keep records on how many layers of tape.
Always one!Last edited by sharptonn; 08-28-2018 at 03:52 AM.

Exactly why I love to find the old regrinds, Mike.....
Lots less work!
BTW, This behemoth is a bit noisy. That Sheffield steel kindof feel/sound.
Was super-easy to hone (After the bevel was set!).
Stropped and shaved quite easily. Like all was natural. A little fun. Close shave!
I suppose that has as much as anything to do with the perceived desirability.
Am stoked to have it going finally!
Nice, but I won't be buying another unless I get it for 10 bucks like you do!
Reinforces my 'better heavier blade than scales' preference!Last edited by sharptonn; 08-29-2018 at 01:16 AM.

Man... I've been after one of those G. B.'s for a long, long time.
They seem to be rarer than winning lottery tickets.
Maybe someday.
