Result: Today's shave was FANTASTIC! The joy that comes from doing everything yourself is o so satisfying. :y I found this blade at an antique store on Saturday. The scales were scratched up and had some #'s and letters scratched into them and the blade had some staining and rust. I hand sanded the blade through 1000 grit, and polished with semichrome. I sanded the scales through 12,000 grit and finished with a coat of renaissance wax. She took a beautiful edge and I really enjoy the smoothness of the edge I get off of my Asagi.
Sorry about the cell phone camera pic, I didn't have time to use my normal gear this morning.
Have a great Tuesday gentlemen, you've earned it!
