Since they are all hollow grinds there isn't too much I can remove from the lower part of the blade but up meat the spine and on the shank I can go to town. My preference is to leave stamps and etchings on where ever possible so I really didn't take much off the shanks either. I was also colder than a witches... in the shop and I am recovering from a back injury so it really needed to be a fast grind where needed. The buffing compounds are what really make the blades pop, as long as most of the pitting is gone and that really goes fast if the grinding is done well.

Thanks for asking. They really should look original or better when finished.

Yup, the Electric seems to be the Gold Medal winner this round. Very nice!

What are the scales on that?

Wow thats a nice looking... shot glass, hahaha. No but seriously those razors cleaned up very well, pretty.
