Second Henckels in Cocobolo
I got a coworker shaving with straights. He bought a TI as I did, with a round toe. He wanted something with a point. I got a Henckels off eBay for him, only paid $13. It was in ok shape, one of the scales was cracked, and when I started refinishing the blade I found some real nasty grind marks. Looks like someone was trying to sharpen it on a belt grinder with about 660 grit. Still, the blade had alot of life left.
So I had some cocobolo from my previous restores, and decided to use that. I am attaching the pics of it and my previous Henckels in Cocobolo. My pinning got alot better, and I shined them up as recommended by a previous post.
The blade I hand sanded from 600-2000. I haven't honed it yet, but I have about 7 hours of work into the whole thing.
Now I don't know if I want to give it up. I am 2 razors towards a 7 day set!
Decisions, decisions.

Very nice work.

Nice job. The pinning looks great too.
