Before and after washing 30mm HMW. BOOM! I love how they bloom when first wasted. One swipe with this monster and half my face is lathered. :rofl2:

The water was not that dirty for...

Two more for my Certifyd collection almost done.

Finish has cured nicely with the warmer weather. Still have lettering on 4 & 6 to finish up but I’m going to use the #6 tomorrow cause I can't...

Finished cleaning up from last wonky coat that shriveled. Had to wait till it cured before sanding. Got a nice warm sunny day to do final coat. The polyurethane flows better in the warm weather...

Thanks for the tips.

Sorry I failed to have mentioned that it closes almost perfect as is. That is why I left it. The holes are off in addition to bent pin. One high one low. The bent pen seems...

It's not perfect but I got her profiled with in .008" of spine and cleaned up and ready for honing. There's oil on blade not scratches. ;)

I didn't un-pin this one for cleaning as you...

Thanks engine46. Har! ;) Crack me up. That is exactly what I thought when I unwrapped this thing. Oh crap! That's a little bit wonky.

Here's Ebay photo.

I've been working on...

Thanks...

'Molding' that's the word I was looking for. Har!

I do it with my wood handled brush make overs too. I don't see as well as I use too and use photos is PS to magnify and tweek.

Sorry, I should have noted that I was trying to get a better look at the scales raised surface to better see the images on it. Ended up with color changes/shifts trying to do that. I do it on Ebay...

Couldn't resist Photoshop photo for scales. Neat looking scales.

Photoshopped a little.

Great stuff, thanks for sharing.

Perfect...

Great!... now you got me tinking all my razors. :roflmao

You might have just touch a marketable use for all those old badges. Ebay here I come. har! :rofl2:

It's not fast but I have had good luck with DRET - Diamond Retractable Sharpener for enlarging holes and truing holes.

As to filling the hole I've use the shaft from plastic Q-Tips...

Hone'r lube. :p

As engine46 posted the handles are the same size. Nice find there. I tried both and did not like the feel of original knots. I re-knotted the #3 with HMW at 50mm. They have a light coating of oil...

Thanks, I like that perspective. As a hobbyist I do do it for me.

Got two left in works. Still stripping old thick finish off. Ended up with a drip and had to let cure before fixing that...

Got the razor back from honing this morning and what a sweet shave. The Lexan scales came out better than I thought. Love the micro blasted tang finish. Feels secure in hand. Still have not been...

Yes. They are less expensive than a 10k or 12k finishing hone. I plan on using shaving lather. They will stay clean. From what I understand (haven't done it yet) water will have a coarser hone and...

The idea is to cure the barber hone after lapping by coating hone with Vaseline. For mine most of the Vaseline was absorbed overnight. I applied a second coat and left sit for a couple months. The...

Finishing swatty clean up. Lapped & Vaseline cured a couple months ago. Today slowly heating up Swatty & Moraine in oven to get the thin Vaseline cure residue off. Finger nail scrape of gunk.
...

A Hess #5 and Rubberset 400 #3 & #4. The 400's bottoms came out like mint coins.

After studying these photos I'll have to polish a little more before the knots get here. My tired old eyes don't...

Sorry a little late seeing this.

WOW! The color!! Excellent!!! Cordovan/blood? I want to try that to one of my oak brushes. Will you share what color of stain that is? Did you blacken the...

Love the oak wood and the detailed sanding of radius edges and simple mechanics. :)

It arrived three days early. YAY!! Won't try a blade swap. Har! I find it quite interesting when you compare similar razors. The subtle little differences. Liking the heavier scales on bolstered...
