Powder Coated my Merkur 1906
I got a powder coat gun and oven for a different project.
For giggles, I thought I'd try it out on my Merkur 1906. I don't use it much, so I figured if I screwed it up, I wouldn't be out much.
I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.
I also powder coated a straight, but that still needs scales and I have to see how sharpening goes.
That's a thread for tomorrow...
Anyhow, here's my candy red Merkur 1906:

That looks stunning. Does it effect the shave at all?
The older I get the more I realize how little I actually know.

I am not sure about affecting the shave. I don't think it will, since I didn't do anything with the bar, but I have not shaved with it yet.
Here's a teaser for tomorrow's thread:

I like the look and idea, especially on the DE. It looks good on the straight, but I probably would have honed with tape. To each their own. It definitely has a certain appeal to it.
