    Default Paine & Simpson Stub Tail Restoration

    The blade took some 600 grit greaseless and then some Emery compound to give a satin finish.
    I tried to leave some pits n marks to keep in with the 200 year old look.

    The scales were oiled n pressed, sanded and buffed.
    I decided not to dye them. They have that lovely effect of transparent green in places.

    Originally it was pinned with no collars.
    I half pinned this a few times trying to get a nice look.
    In the end i stole some silver flowered collars from another razor and re domed them, the drill holes were quite large so i had to use thicker brass rods.
    You can see i still need to fine clean the collars.

    Pinned tight it centers and sits up straight. I am just about to give it an edge.

    W&B 7/8th for a size comparison. It is a hefty chunk of razor..

    That is a beautiful razor. Funny enough, the blade and scales make a combination that looks quite modern - very streamlined.

    I'd say it has a timeless style.
    I just set/restored the bevel which took me about an hour. Probably the most challenging but the most rewarding part.

    I definitely have a thing for this razor ..
