I remember this W&B and those scales. I thought that the repair job was so interesting. I think I suggested keeping it original, but now, after seeing that it was Max's awesome work, you made the right choice. That razor looks phenomenal!! Congrats Seth, and congrats Max!

I'm going to say about 25 hours of hand sanding went into this one. And that was only my part. Although I did go over and over and over it with a single grit until there were absolutly no sctratches left that opposed the direction I was sanding. Actually the worst of the pitting wasn't that big black spot under the stamped writing centered on the blade (there was very little underneath that blemish) it was a nondescript spot that took forever on the back of the blade. And not wanting to throw off the grind of the blade I had to sand the entire face to keep the blade balanced. Although I considered giving up several times telling myself that is good enough, I kept remembering Bruno's words that go something like this: If you are going to sand it, sand it to perfection. I hardly even touched the stamped words centered on the blade until I hit 400 grit. I really thought that keeping them as deep as possible was for the best. It turns out I was right. But all of my thanks goes to Max for this superb job of finishing the blade. Thanks again, and I can't wait to shave with it when it arrives.
