Thread: Joseph Elliot's Best Silver 7/8 Round Point C1850/As New

As always, FANTASTIC!!

Gary, you put alot of razors out and in a frequent manner. All of them are exceptional. I can't fathom the idea of you hand sanding all of those to a high shine in such a high quantity. What method do you use? It seems to take me a week to get one just looking decent and you put out 2, 3, 4 at a time with exceptional results.

I do love looking at them, makes me want to continue on with my adventure to reach a level close to what I see from you.

FANTASIC!

He doesn't hand sand them my friend!

Really Nice Gary! Gotta be a Great Shaver!

"He doesn't hand sand them my friend! "

I should have been more specific. I didn't think he could put that many razors out while hand sanding them. I was wondering what method he uses:

• dremel
• tumbler
• buffing wheels
• chemical / electro polish
• jedi mind tricks
• other

I'm guessing jedi mind tricks.

They are wet ground,through 3600 grit,using old equiptment from a bygone era (seriously ,just some old stuff from when I had a tool,and die shop along time ago.)It takes about an hour to do a blade(big Chopper) in poor condition,to EELL,little longer for one in very bad condition(lots of corrosion,wide uneven edge,spine wear)Hollow grounds dont take very long.Lots of grinding wheels various grits diameters/widths,and face profiles very messy work,but still fun sometimes.......Come Help,low pay,free tacos......Best Regards Gary

By the way this razor got sold

I'll consider the offer

Thank you for the information. I don't see any of that equipment in my future though. Certainly explains the high quality. Good tools = good product.
