    Default H.M. Christiensen Warranted

    Recently restored H.M.Christensen. Scales are Southern Live Oak snag (standing deadwood. This wood might be 1500 years old)
    Name: IMG_20200315_201652.jpg Views: 210 Size: 28.8 KB

    Name: IMG_20200315_201808.jpg Views: 238 Size: 58.7 KB

    Wood is sanded to 3k and coated with 10 coats of Beechwood Casey Gun Stock Wax which gives it a matte finish. Went with original brass anti friction spacers, brass pins and collars. Bevel set on Norton 1k then 4k/8k pyramid progression then finished with 100 laps on Sharpton 12k then cotton canvas, then the leather.

    I have a Challenge razor with covered tang that I need to pull out of the drawer. That looks really nice. I agree Doughboy. Christensen is very underrated.

    The Challenge is another unrated razor.

    Well you were definitely right about the Christensen Shaun. I haven't got the Challenge ready yet but I'll have to get it out now.
