Just wondering!

So, I just got the bevel set with one layer of tape. It is a pretty wide bevel

It was a little time consuming but the steel is so nice that at 1k it looks really uniform and smooth under 45 power loupe. I'm sure its going to be a great shaver.

I'll post pics once i have it honed up and a link to my first shave.
Thanks guys for the comments.

The scales look fine...nice clean vintage look, and looks like they have plenty of life in em. Well done overall

My old Sheffield has similar scales and with all the flea bites too, and they've stayed in place also!!

Really nice work and a great looking old W&B. Enjoy that shave!!

Wow it looks so great after you cleaned it up, like a new razor. The scales look fine to me too, great job!

Here she is, ready for the Shave Test

Bevel set and without a middle stone polishing was a little slow.
Heavy slurry on BBW and Coticule.
Finish with Charnley Forest.
Both new to me stones from last week.
I DO believe I'm gonna love tis thing!
