    Hi ! Thanks.

    I'll try to finish it next week, Hirlau, it's a razor for me, so I'll make it on my own time.

    Thanks Sharptonn, I understand your point of view about patina, I'm not a fan of blade patina, or the patina must be homogene everywhere. This blade will not be mirror, I work with a little abrasive gun, and I finish with polishing pastes very thin. In my point of view, loose the soul would be loosing the angular forms of the blade if we work with abrasives too big. The beauty of a Sheffield blade is in it lines, for me of course. Everybody has own tastes.

    Have a good week-end

    Yes, That is for certain! When posting something unfinished here it is up for comment! If you had posted the last few pics with a finished product, I might have said how shiny it is as it would have been completed!
    It is certain to come out good in any case!

    Beautiful work. I expect quite time consuming! Yes, The blade looks proper and given it's heft, it should have good balance. I would like to hold it in hand. It looks to feel as fine jewelry! Congratulations on completion and thanks for sharing it! Many happy shaves, Tom
