Thanked: 18 more pics here...
It took many hours of testing techniques, sand paper grits, and polishing compounds to find the right ingredients for the proper finish I was trying to achieve. Now I know exactly how to approach the next completely rusted, pitting, ugly surface razor I restore. Enjoy shaves!

My friend liked the design I came up with for him. What do you guys think, is this a design you could like for scales?

I love the contours of the wedge end. To me, the scales are both classical and modern, the pinning is great and the domed washers add a nice touch. You certainly did a nice job there. The only thing I would change would be that I prefer my scales rounded, but that is just a personal preference.

I absolutely love this razor. +1 to previous posts
. It carries the aethestics of past and present/future very well and in a very balanced way. Is the wedge lime green G10? or Acrylic? Great Job
