    Thanks.....this is my first Clauss razor, I hear they have a very good reputation from what I've read in the forums here, looking forward to using this one.

    I got this cute little 6/8 with some rust, but pretty pristine overall:

    Also the heel stuck out too much for proper honing:

    So that had to go.

    Took a nice edge and I shaved with it this morning, nice close shave. Very light, thin blade.

    How did you achieve that with the heel/stabilizer? Just sand from the bottom, up? Looks good.

    Euclid440 has a great tutorial on this here:

    http://straightrazorpalace.com/honin...file-heel.html

    I used a small-radius drum sander for most of the steel removal, then moved to a low-grit stone to get the profile exactly right. It's actually a very quick process and I think would be easy to do without power tools (Euclid440's tutorial does it on a diamond lapping plate but even just sandpaper would probably work).

    On the honing, these Clauss razors are really high quality and excellently tempered. I finished it on a Shapton 30K, and then stropped a little. It took a really super edge, one of those ones where on the first stroke you wonder whether you were actually shaving but the beard is gone.

    Here is a Clauss 7702 with what I now realize is Mermaid instead of just a woman. Thanks for pointing that out to me Sharptonn. It doesn't look exactly the same as one posted by another member though.

    Nice! I like the mixed red color. I like the lack of pitting and hone wear too.
    Does yours have the celluloid lines/grain like mine?
    Tiny flipper is right. If it was any smaller I would just say she has split ends.:

    Here are my Clausses. Most of them just needed some elbow grease which is good as I have no restoration skills at all. All very nice shavers.
