    In all art schools they SHOULD be teaching the technique of the Masters, IMO.
    Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. An absolute learning tool.
    What looked good then?
    Looks good now!

    Finished up the Wosty last night, and put it to the hones.

    Today's shave was incredible... Love them Wostys!

    Nice work as usual guys. Some of you guys are gonna g have to step up your game and start casting your own silver scales!
    Just changed a gnarly diaper, so that's something!! I'm a pro at that now.

    Really nice examples of bone scales Sharptonn. Are those exceptionally clean or can you get any bone looking that nice by bleaching? I'm referring to the spots where tendon connected to bone. I imagine they feel nice in the hand.

    Took a moment tonight, and cleaned up the BJ Eyre & Co.
    Late W. Greaves & Sons.

    Unpinned, cleaned up the blade with 3M and Never Dull wading, repaired a couple spots on the scales with CA, some lite sanding with 600 grt. and steel wool, then polished them out with Flitz, and pinned with brass rod and original steel domed collars.

    I thought the collars were just dirty brass, but lo n behold, their steel, nickle, or both. This was the first time I've encountered these, that were salvageable.

    You need a vast collection of non restored SR to keep up with you!

    HAR!..................

    Seriously, that is the most which should be done on something such as this. It is still what it is and always was.
    Well-Done!
