1st Attempt at a restore
This is my first attempt at a restore, all comments, good or bad and suggestions are very welcome. Also did not know how to get the pics in the thread.

Steve,
at first sight it looks great but maybe you could resize the pictures to a more pleasing 600 or 700 pixel width as the ones you have going are way oversized. Thx.

Congrats on the first.
Looks like a diamond nosed point.
The white gleam of swords, not the black ink of books, clears doubts and uncertainties and bleak outlooks.

That looks great, paco. My first razor was an heirloom Novelty that Glen sharpened for me and it's a great shaver. I now only break it out on special occasions.
Congrats on the restore, and update us after the first shave!

Nice job!!!! but ya left us all hanging here Brother..
The new scales, I see the reverse angle cut, and the new Adj. bolt, but did you make those,or re-fashion a set???
The steel restore looks very nice...

the scales from the razor I posted about in the thread
" Got Burned " . The reverse cut is because I broke the scale at the pin while trying to remove.
As stated first try and learned how NOT to do many things.Last edited by paco; 03-26-2010 at 02:42 AM.
