Three cheers for Larry at Whipped Dog.
I got my sight unseen from him. Its not a show razor,
but it shaves well for a hundred year old tool.
I could be mistaken, but I don't think he tapes the spine when he sets a bevel.
I see fresh polished steel on yours.To deobfuscate is to convert something that is difficult to un͝d̡͝e҉͞r̴͝st̨̕a͘͢n̢̛d̕̕ ̧͝
into one that is simple, understandable and straightforward.

Well given the fresh spine wear it is apparent that he hones without tape at some point.

I don't mind the hone wear. I like my razors to look like they survived a zombie apocalypse.

Then you're dealing with the right guy.

If Larry was willing to show you it would be a great advantage to you, assuming you want to hone.Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

I am very interested in learning to hone. It's definitely the next step for me.

I know what you mean. It's Vintage.That hasn't stopped me from putting a polish on others, but I like my WD looking like it's paid it's dues. I don't mind mine showing it's age so long as it still works. Originally Posted by Walrus76
