Making one actually work right
There are certain times as a Restorist that you get to have real fun and a real challenge.
I have only done this twice in over 17 years as a restore professional
Once when an actual Sheffield razor came in that the owner couldn’t hone
I determined that it was a Spine “Frameback” that was missing its Spine
I did the same as I did with this Homemade razor that was made as a True Wedge
Final bevel came out as a perfect 16.4° Included angle
Having way to much fun making stuff work right.

Just need to do final fitting on the brass now that I have nice even tiny bevels.
You can also see how a “True Wedge” couldn’t allow for proper honing in the first pics
