SO I figured that I needed more practice with building scales, and the only razor I had left was my Bismark that I bought last year while on tour in Italy.
I was hesitant to strip down my only 'new' razor, especially because there was nothing wrong with it at all....almost.
I found the gold wash to be crappy, so I polished it all off with the exception of the blade wash/etching.
I gave it a light overall polish, not even close to mirror, just some mothers to brighten it up.
I scaled it in Zebra with stacked brass and a hand made lead wedge.
6 coats of tung oil and I think it looks alright. An improvement over the original anyways!
Anyways, enough yapping..here's the pics!
