Crown & Castle save

[BobH]

Picked up a few razors with busted scales the other day to practice restoring and honing with. Just finished this 6/8, at least it was before honing. Crown & Castle. Took it down by hand to 600 grit and up to 2000 grit before a polish with Peek cream. Had to reshape the nose a bit because of some dings with a 320 DMT. Honed starting with a DMT, 1000 Naniwa, 3000 Naniwa, 8000 Naniwa, 12000 Naniwa and finished with a balsa strop and Crox. Re-purposed the Olive wood scales which I had built for my Wostie Pipe razor but dropped on first use and ruined the blade. After all that, wonder of wonders, it actually shave pretty well. Wish I had as much luck with the W&B blade I am working on. Looks like it will be tomorrow mornings shave.
