    That came out really well! And I don't toss that compliment casually... It really looks good. Can you shave with it? I always hear people say they have a tough time getting an edge on razors that old.

    Nice job! That is one old razor for sure. I like the modern twist with the red scales, but the classic straight lines.

    Excellent job. I also like the classic lines on the new scales. Well done.

    It shaves really gentle. I mean, it is 260 years old.
    I 7 layers of tape .... sharpening with Naniwa had 1000-10000 and Escher.
    chrome 15 x and 20x Strop ......
    It is hard to believe .... I wish you all so a razor
