    Superb job ,I love the way it looks & the fact that the blade is now good for another 100 or so years.
    I also love the look of your scales.Paul

    Great job. Really excellent use of the tools you had on hand-not to mention the amount of patience it took to transform the shape of the blade. I really like it.

    Okay, I guess I will be the one to mourn the loss of the original blade. However, I certainly appreciate the vision and skill to transform it into a custom razor. Overall outstanding job, and the new design is something that I wouldn't mind having in my own collection.

    I have used my dremel for similar mods on a razor (made a barber notch with the orange cylinder), and your own work inspires me to keep at it.

    Wow, amazing! Personally I rather the blade over the scales, but it's still beautiful. Not to mention you got exactly what you wanted!

    Like it a lot Paul. Scales & all.

    You did that with a Dremel. ???

    I don't think he'll be giving it away for the praise! You better cough up some real money if you want to own that razor!

    Given the excessive pitting and hone wear on my old W&B, I may try something similar. Speaking of which, how did you secure the blade while working on it? I've been wrapping an old wash cloth around it, and c-clamping it to my bench vice.
