My Clipboard Creation
I was going to post a new brush today, but the brush I worked on today is needing a very specialized finish which I have been researching for about a month now.
I instead realized that I haven't posted a razor in sometime...wait, have I ever posted a razor?
I guess this isn't the razor to (re)start with.
This was a troubled set of scales if you read my post about using clipboard material.
This is a Zenith from Marshall Wells in Germany. The razor came in a lot and I didn't think it would polish out, but really wanted to try a buffing in my drill press instead of my buffer and didn't care about this blade.
Despite losing a little bit of the logo on both sides of the tang it came out pretty well. It does have a few pits on the blade and a slight reverse taper, but nearly no wear and I think she'll shave great.
I did a partial bullseye on the pins and despite having only half of my tools I think the pinning came out acceptable.
As you can tell I'm not a photographer and I could have removed the polishing streaks before clicking.
In general I'm going back to proven and natural materials.

From what I can see it looks good Gerrit. Pinning looks cool too
The white gleam of swords, not the black ink of books, clears doubts and uncertainties and bleak outlooks.

Looks good! The wedge end looks unique, Some pics of that? I like the pin job as well.
"Don't be stubborn. You are missing out."
I rest my case.
