Passing time

One of the razors in my to do pile. It had a big chip on the end of the blade, and the original scales were pretty chewed up and broken off on one side. I was bored and wanted to see what I could do with it. the blade had minor rust and very little pitting, sorry for the no before pics.
I cut off the tip of the blade where it was chipped and cracked, shortening it about 3/4 inches. then I made new lacewood scales. coping saw, dremel sanding drum, then lots of hand sanding. with a CA finish. I re-used the original wedge. prolly have to replace that. I do not like it. then I practiced my pinning. I still need a lot of practice. sorry for the crap pics. I am a baker not a photographer, but I am still learning.

You gave new life to the razor. Well done!

Hmmm, doesn't look like a shortened blade.
Nice job.

Nice work! Who has a Gomez razor? You do! Morticia would be so proud! Kidding, It must be rare! Great job on this! The pins are cool.

Nice! Shortened blades can be hideous. Looks very nice.

Nice work on the scales, too!

Idle hands, huh....

Great job!!! It doesn't look shortened at all.. Excellent!!

thanks every one...started a new project. w & B invincible. and I got before pics this time.

I like your scales, and the pinning looks pretty good to me.

Well done.
