TBH, as the mineral oil is in them, they take-on a whole different feel. Like they have been polished. I don't much care for the pure white look, myself.
The oil yellows them a bit. Brings a 'patina' to the bone.

Exactly my thoughts!

So the seal razor is pinned! I oversized the hole in the wedge a bit so I could shove it out while pinning. Made the sucker line-up nicely.
A bit of polish and it is ready for honing.
Need to get my green lizard done so it will have a honing partner.
I hate honing one at a time. I hate honing 3 at a time! 2 is just right!

I am drooling in anticipation of having that razor in my hands and shaving with it. Almost done with the strop socks for Rez that I am doing in exchange for the scales of delight. What a Shave of the Day I will have since I found a great lather bowl at Goodwill the other day. I wish Tom and Rex a mitzvah for their work and will now count them among my mishpocheh.

Nice pinning job Tom. Its nice to see how neet other do it. Keeps me trying for better.

It is a comfy razor, Richard. Should be haymish to your scruffy face.
Mine first, though!

Why I like Austin's collars. Teensy bit over the top on both sides. Bingo!

Looks great Tom.

Thanks! Will be fun to shave with!
Richard too!

So how long ago did you do this? It's been a while!

Wanted to share a few pics of Jerry's blade.

I'm thinking, late 1800- early 1900s, being its double jumped.

I would put it a bit older, Mike. Let's dig into the name...
Cannot find anything!

I would say you have done a proper job as well!
