Thanked: 3dont take shortcuts
so there i was sanding and sanding on the savage razor i have and i thought hmmp i have a tumbler and i read the thread on using a tumbler to clean up a blade let me give it a try, so i went down stairs dug out the tumbler realized the only media i had was alum oxide no walnut i should have stoped there but no being the lazy person i am i say lets do it. put my razor in went to bed next more came down almost cried, the media thickened up and was not circulating right and wedged my razor and sanded a 1/8 long grove in the corner of the blade, sanded flat spots on top of the spine and the monkey tail. so i thought i was saving work but created more needless to say went back to hand sanding and sanding and now im at a point where i think the blade is as nice as it will get with my skills and tools. next up making scales yay.
