You simply MUST restore that!

Did the best I could with what knowledge and equipment I had at the time.

HAR! I missed that! A Miracle, that!

Tomorrow to do a bit of 1000 lengthwise and start on the 400.
I usually go to 600 and then 1000 on this type of stuff.
Then, I take the worn-out paper and go down through again.
Perhaps some Croox, WD40 with crocus cloth.
Then there's always the diamond paste frost job!

Best it gets!

Actually I DID see that! My like is on it.
There goes another wrinkle!

Well they do say that the memory is the first thing to go!

I reckon it's going, all right!


It WAS 2013, however!

Way to go at it, Tom! You'll have it in top shape before too long, it's already looking really good. I've been doing some hand sanding too, but then it's well known I'm a glutton for that particular flavor of punishment!

Thanks!
Problem is....I am at that place where it looked better before I began!
Hate that!

Hafta keep going now or it's almost like you might as well have not even started. I can identify with that, thinking to myself "what kind of commitment did I get myself into?" It will be worth it, that blade is sweet!

I suppose so. It's so thin, I have gone as far as I want to.
Just some light, progressive sanding to get it smooth again.
Doing my best to avoid the stabilizer, belly, and spine. Meh.
I think it will be easier to do with the finer grits...

I am going to do a wedge next time!

Sounds good, a good idea to be careful with the thin ones. What good is a blade if it's sanded into tin foil? There is a when to say when. Are you getting this one ready for a New Year's shave perhaps?
