    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.

    Max How do I go about doing that. I'm a computer idiot


    Steve, Pics resized and added to your first post. A few were out of focus so I didn't bother. Max

    So how does it shave?
    That is the most important consideration.

    It looks very clean and well done.

    Congrats on the first. Looks like a diamond nosed point.

    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!

    More Info !!! More Info!!!!

    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...

    I am betting on it being a good shaver too...

    Made some scales of ceder, but one side was a little warped, and when i put it under some tention, well oops too much, it snapped. So i used
    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.
