Stunning work on that blade
Im trying to work out the blade profile, in the before shots it looks flat ground but it looks kindof hollow in the after shots with a raised spine, on the tang as well, is this just a trick of the camera? I cant see how you could have ground it hollow and retained the stamp on the tang. Sometimes tricky to work things out with pics of shiny steel, great work whatever.
Ok I've looked again and I think its just my eyes
it still looks flat in the end on profile shot so I guess its a reflection!

JESUS Bubba!!! I'm still not over that W. Greaves and Sons semi-custom you did a little bit ago, and now you go and do this. Next time, wait a little so I can catch up! You'll have to make a little demo video where you explain the tools and techniques you use to go from really beat up razors to mirror finished beauties.

Thanks, but this one is from over 6 months ago and it recently got bumped.

As for the process, it was pretty much straight from Bruno's hand sanding how to thread;

It's a semi-long thread, but there's a ton of info in there.
I didn't really do anythng special with this razor. It just took more time than razors that started in better shape. If you have the time on your hands you could do it too.
