David Miller / 16 Fairgate

I took this old David Miller razor and gave it a make over.

The blade had a funny grind which made the work interesting but i managed to get a nice bevel .
The scales were stripped back and left in neat's-foot for a while then one section was stabilized with some rod. I wanted to try something different with the faux tortoise dyeing so i started with an orange and then added red brown and dark brown. The end result is not too bad.

The wedge speaks for itself.
The edge off a full Nagura progression was exceptional. Very soft and comfortable.

Cheers

Bravo Sir….well done and nice save.

Your super top secret, world wide exclusive mirror finish does my head in Joseph. You are a clever fella indeed :chapeau

Thanks Tath and everyone, this one does have some grind marks.
The video makes it look a lot worse than it is and the scales won't photo at all.
The best thing about this razor is the soft edge it gave. That makes it a special one.
