    Default W&B invincible

    I didn't put as much work into this one as I have my previous two. My goal was to remove rust, keep as much of the logo and invincible stamp as possible, keep the scales intact, and have another shaver, and I got to practice my pin work. always a plus. I cleaned up the scales with baking soda and hand soap. Sanded through a progression of grits from 60 to 2000. I only did three steps of my polishing. Compounds one and two, and then I finished up with the turtle wax polishing compound before honing. Not super pretty, but it looks better than it did, and it shaves great.

    Nice. The closer you look the more character that has. I like.

    I think you're a brave man. Personally I wouldn't start at 60 grit if I want to save an etch but you succeeded so 2 thumbs up for that

    I should have been more clear, I used 60 on the back and where there was no etch or stamp, and started with 220 around those areas. I just realized my before pics didn't upload.
