Kropp restore in bone and black horn...
Here is another one I finally got around to taking pics of. This is actually my first blade restore. I had originally tried to do the scales in blonde horn, but there were some issues with the horn. I ended up using those scales on another blade. Like I say, this was my first blade restore and I have learned somethings since then. I really want to get a buffer or as Onimaru mentioned in my other thread, try the micromesh. Though my arms would prefer the buffer.
Anyway, here it is, Kropp Made and Ground in Sheffield. Bone with black horn wedge, stainless washers and brass pins:

Great first restore, looks good. I have a kropp like that (well at least it used to look like that) and it gives a sweet shave.

Whoa. That is crazy. I have shaved with the blade before. Even without being in the scales. It gave cuts through a beard like butter. Now that she is finished, will re-hone her and put her back in rotation.

Kropp razors are excellent shavers. And since this was your first I have to say. wonderful job. I would suggest you enter our 'first restore' contest.

Sweet shavers fo shizzle.

This is actually the razor I had thought about sending to you. I had done the blade out to 2000grit hand sanding and maas polish, but really wanted that mirror shine you always get. Also, the scales I had done for the blade out of horn had some delamination problems.
I may go ahead and put it in the contest just for kicks. Like I say, it was my first blade restore. I need to go back and read the contest rules.
