    I've shaved with this, but it was time to give it a full restore.
    I'm only up to #1000 grit as I'm always distracted by other things.
    Maybe that's enough ?

    I just got some black acrylic in, and I need to duplicate the broken scale.
    Fortunately, it's not the one with the inlay.

    To me, it's a "full-bodied" razor with a nice singing sound as I run my thumb over the edge.

    Does anyone have one of these beauties as well ?

    I don't have one but it sure looks like a substantial blade that would slice through my beard smoothly! It looks like stopping at 1K tis justified on that one. It looks pretty good now.

    +1 on stopping there. Looks good! Best of luck getting a nice matching scale made up.

    I would stop with the grit lines going spine to edge. It looks more natural that way.
    Good judgment comes from experience, and experience....well that comes from poor judgment.

    I can't find fault with any of the above posts,
    yours included, nice work.
    Looking forward to seeing the finished project, glad to see you can save the scale with the inlay.

    It is just Whisker Whacking
    Relax and Enjoy!
