IIRC I did that one by hand, so yes it did.. I have done a few more since then using buffers and just so long as you don't go lower then 400 grit greaseless I did fine and so should you..

Wow that was almost 5 years ago now hehehe

Very smart indeed, those scales look fantastic Glen, great finish on them, another extremely satisfied customer waiting to take charge of a GemStar custom razors.

Beautiful work once again.
Love to view these threads.

Nicely done Glen. Top looking restore, the finish on those scales is great.

Have not worked with bloodwood yet. Hope too soon as it's an amazing looking wood!!
