Thread: H. Koopmann razor at the antigue store - worth it?

Any pics? I would like to see the fruits of your labor! Hopefully I'll be able to learn the art of bevel settinf and honing so I can see if it's my thing :-)

Shiny! Well done sir! Can'twait for mine to look that classy.

Just a quick update on the Koopman.

This is what it looks like now with and without the flash on after sanding it with 150, 180, 240, 320, 40 & 600. Still have 800, 1000, 1500 and 2000 to go. I had to take off a bit of the edge (little frown toward the toe) due to the pitting and am still a little concerned I might have to go i bit further, but so far so good.

If it doesn't harm the edge...I won't sand it down completly, as there is a chance I might ruin the blade...
Don't think I'll keep the razor though..Those big ones just aren't my thing I guess.

Kick it to me, kick it to me....hehehe
