Big Swede in white

Picked this one up a few weeks ago, the razor was in pretty good shape exept for a frown in the blade and terrible looking scales (the scales weren't damaged, just plain, ugly black plasic, me don't like)

I forgot to take before pics so you justbhave to take my word for it :)

It's a 7/8 SSA wedge, as you can see in the last pic it's not much hollowing :)

I took out the frown and set a bevel to it before I teared it down and started working on it..

The blade is lightly buffed, from 320 greaseless up to jewellers rouge, scales in white G10 with an open red G10 wedge, pinned with nickel silver on brass washers.

Wow! Very sweet!

That's a striking Swedish beauty, Zephyr, and I love that red wedge. Gives that razor a nice visual pop! :)

Beautiful looking razor, i love the way the wedge is slightly exposed, plus the whole balance of the pinning and the scales are spot on. Great work.

Jamie.

Absolutely stunning Rune !!! Has just enough pizazz, but still elegant and classy :tu

Nice Scales even thou White aint my cup of tea, but the red realy sets the white off. Nice work.

What a great looking set of scales! The details like the "vee" in the wedge and the red on the middle pin... outstanding.

Wowzers! That's an awesome looking restore. The blade came out just fantastic!

Awesome job. The wedge really sets it off. Striking yet elegant.

Quite some looker you got there.

I seriously wanna know how long it took to polish that anvil. I assume that's what the base is.

One hour on the belt sander from 80 to 180 grit, then 12 hours of hand sanding (effective time) up to 2K......

Simple elegance, clean lines, supreme workmanship.

Very slick! Nice work
