Würth, where I live. Doesn't scratch up even on DMT-C.

Thanks Mike, been working on that heel tonight, but nothing interesting to share.. I can say the same - no razor worked for me either and my car is wrecked, too (but still drives), so had a full day...

Worked a bit on the makers mark, guess that's it! Tried also to restore the etching on the face, but that's not happening with my simple approach of creating patina with FeCl3 and polishing the...

Ok, perhaps I will. Need to sit at a computer for that and it will be a separate thread. This was done before I had a Dremel, so all manual work, no vise, nothing.. Gives it a rustic look (you know,...

That is not wood, but thanks, several people liked it so far... Perhaps I should put together a short tutorial on creative use of celluloid, burr bits and drills, spray paint, ebony and cocobolo...

Thank you, he will ship to me apparently, so I will order some!

I used rolling x mostly, only some selective X strokes to remove excess from the heel and toe. I was thinking the same as you...

Good day gents. Had a go at honing yesterday and marked the problem spot in red. Very difficult to get that part sharp, but personally, I don't mind, since I don't ever use it to shave. The rest of...

A fine looking Chinese lady :-) That's the piqued finish I was talking about, nicely done.

Some progress.. this is more or less the final shape. I refined it just a tiny bit after this photo.

The problem is, it does not want to take a proper edge. Guess how many layers of tape I tried,...

This is obviously primitive, but it's just an example:

You could create striations with a carving knife, or play...

Wichever way you choose to go, you may want to consider roughing up the surface of that wood. I've seen some great examples of piqued surfaces that would look great on this. A good carving knife and...

And carry on I shall because as of today, the butchered beauty is mine. Getting the DMT-C out now... [emoji4]

Appreciate the opinion, of course, but I'm not in it for the money at all. I edited that last post, just to be clear. I did say when I first posted, this isn't mine... yet. I just took it to attempt...

Thanks guys.

The hone wear has been conceiled with sanding and polishing, that's why I said you can't really tell.

I agree, it will be some work, IF the owner wants me to do it. As it is, I...

Here it is, side by side.. man the spine wear on this thing is horrible.. you probably can't tell. It's even worse on the other side. About 3/8" length of the heel (on the other side), even as wide...

Very good advice, thanks gents. Here's a layout so far and my vision of a nice smile on this one.

Not sure on that low point now, reading Tom's advice...

My turn to post in this thread gents. I received this in the mail today, from a gentleman who restores safety razors. Said he had this sitting in a drawer for a while and was thinking of putting it...

The problem is that I have nothing beat up to work on at the moment, but I can share a recent salvation of a heel on my Cadman Bengall. Maybe something will come up again soon ;)

You know, I might just take you up on that!

I was waiting for this. Well done so far, I would also try and give it back the smile. A bit worrying though, looks like you can easily get too close to the shoulder and the notch while grinding...
