Finishing the 10/8+ razor, spine, grob and barber notch taken to a full polish, tang and blade left in a glazed finish. For the polish I worked up through my selection of Trizact belts, ending at 5...

I'll have a bit more to post next week, been fairly busy recently since we are now haying our fields.

I did get some work done yesterday afternoon on a few of the wedge grind razors, all grinding...
