Thread: What an awsome experience!

thanks a lot!

Congrats on the work, looks nice! Hone it up and tell us how it shaves!

Looks like a great job there.

Just one problem, that $20 bill looks counterfeit to me. You better send it to me for proper investigation and disposal.

Har har.

First Great job on it,
Second there are many I have not taken to 100% they lose something (and I am not just talking etching).
It is the character, many blades did not come mirrored,
and like old war ships earned their scars.
Some like to take them all, all the way.
I personally think you did that blade justice, scale it, hone it, enjoy it.

Just please tell me that it will take an edge after all that buffing...

I think it will take an edge? I plan on making some scales for it, so after that I will hone her up! I really need a good hone too. Any suggestions for someone looking for a good hone thats sole purpose is to put an edge on a blade? Thanks -BRETT

You should have a 1k to set the bevel. You can do it with a 4k/8k Norton but setting the bevel with a 4k could be a long road to learn on. This is all I have used for almost a year now. Fixed up about 30 e-Bay razors so far and shaves are fine for me.

You didn't get the blade hot when buffing did you ?

I agree, and there is still some slight pitting where the logo is. I noticed while sanding it that if I was to try to get it all out that it would have sanded the logo down to a point where I wouldn't see it. And I did not want that, so I did the best I could.
