    Wow!
    I amazed at the finish people are able to achieve on even the oldest of razors. Great Job! By the way, where did you get the scale material? I really like it and it has a uniques look.
    Great Job!

    Beautiful Razor Gary!!

    The old Greaves are really nice looking blades.

    I thought that looked like a staple. Nice innovation.
