    Great looking razor and a superb restoration Mike.
    I find it kind of amazing what you can do with a Dremel.
    Bravo my friend!

    Its been a lot of trial and error for good results, Pete, but I feel more comfortable with a dremmel over a buffer, though the buffer is still a better choice over all, they are both tools that can be used for aiding in restoration. The most of it is still done by hand...if you want them looking real nice.[emoji4]

    I believe an edge doesn't end at the stone, it stops at the strop. It can either be refined, or destroyed at the strop...no matter how perfect the bevel. [emoji6]
    i like to use a strop progression as well. i started just because i bought so many nice strops that i hated not using them, but now its just part of my shaving ritual. i generally go canvas, bridle, linen, roo, cordovan.
