    That's a helluva good look for "a pretty boring old unknown Microtome."

    Very nice!! Do you have any other blades in mind for this? Would a certain grind work best?

    Those lines flow and are very smooth, what a beautiful shape. I would like to shave with that razor.

    Well I think you have proved them wrong, what an interesting transformation.

    That looks absolutely awesome Glen, and once again I am in the middle of something similar, but not with a microtome just a regular hollow Bengall.
    Its not gonna look that nice though
    Beautiful

    You two Aussies need to get together

    Muscles check out Grant's work on these in this forum, he has done a couple too.. I have only used the Microtomes so far but Grant and a few others have done some with western ground razors... So I would say it doesn't matter...
