Joseph Elliot in horn
Sorry I haven't posted here in a while bit that doesn't mean that I haven't been working
Here's a Joseph Elliot with before and after pictures. The blade was cleaned up and rescaled in horn. The scales are in the original design, original spacer and washers with new brass pins.“If you always do what you always did, you will always get what you always got.” (A. Einstein)

Great work. Did you lose blade width in fixing the uneven bevel, or just polish it out?

Nice authentic restore Joed. Bevels looks great too. Honed with tape ?

Thank you all for your kind words.
I did looks some of the width on this razor while bringing it to a mirror finish. Some of the potting was significant and not apparent through the patina. This picture was taken prior to honing but when I did hone it up I did use tape.“If you always do what you always did, you will always get what you always got.” (A. Einstein)
