Luna & Fontenille rescales
These 2 belong to my buddy Luc, who always keeps me busy & off the streets
Both were in for honing & rescale but both needed major surgery. The Luna needed about 2mm removed at the toe to get past the pitting on the edge but any remaining pitting is well away from the edge now. See microscope before "pic"
The blue Fontenille needed the heel area reshaped to allow honing. See this all the time with razors worn flush to the stabiliser . The heel bevel doesn't form as it is kept off the hone with most of the pressure going to the toe.
(See novelty balance pic at the end for the new heel.)
Any who both razors plus an extra French one in the batch honed up perfectly. All 3 rivalling my Iwasaki in performance. Awesome shavers.“The white gleam of swords, not the black ink of books, clears doubts and uncertainties and bleak outlooks.”

Nice precision work there Oz. Sweet looking scales, the translucent whitish one I really like.

A nice pair.
The blue looks great, and imagine stunning in hand. (I think the pic may not do justice to the coloring)
The white looks very classy. I like it's translucence and shape very much
