    Glen, I would like you to know that I am quite upset with you. I am working on an old W&B that is quite similar, though the blade etching was ground off at some point. After seeing this, I won't be happy unless mine looks at least remotely like this.
    Thanks for sharing and inspiring. Great work!

    Nice one G. I may have to restore some horn instead of replacing it.

    Glen, this is some mighty fine work! I like how you carefully maintained the original integrity of the razor yet completely transformed it. Best Regards Ken

    very nice, looks very smooth. when you soak 'em in neatsfoot, is like you throw them all in a quart plastic bag all together, like a marinade?

    Just because it's sharp, does not mean it's smooth.

    Yes exactly

    I put them in a Ziploc and pour in about a table spoon of Neatsfoot and move them around just like a marinade LOL I guess there are other ways of doing it but this works neat and fast
