    Nice - looking forward to seeing that finished!

    What steels did you use for your billet?

    It was in original condition, faded red, well-worn, but nice.
    This was and still is my favorite combination; beautiful, original, and worn.

    A couple items I picked up, while running some errands today.
    Figured I'd get them cleaned up, and honed for tomorrow's shave.

    A 5/8 Genco, Army/Navy, and a Rubberset, boar brush.

    Cleaned the brush with Shout, laundry spray, then a dip in some 35% peroxide, followed by a good shampooing, and conditioner. Then filled the letters with white, wax paint.

    Disassembled the razor, cleaned and flatten scales, and polished with Flitz.

    Steel wool n oil, followed by 3M metal restorer, for the blade.

    And pinned in original fashion. Collarless, nickle silver pins.
