Thread: What are you working on?

The lines on that stubtail are so clean. Its amazing to see something that old in such great shape. Be gentle Mike. And congrads on owning such a fine razor Mike T.

I got it on the bay a while back, it was hidden in a box among a lot. Just luck I guess, as I think people would have bid much higher knowing it was there.
Never shaved with one like this, it may be a challenge.
Mike was explaining to me scything motions/angles of blades.
Looking forward to seeing it on shave of the day and hearing what he has to say about the shave.
I'm really taken aback by his generosity in helping me with these blades, as I suggested he pick one or two to fix up, he worked on all of them!!!
Seriously there's gotta be some kind of award for such a guy!
I'm hard pressed to think of an appropriate way to express my gratitude, but I will say that he has a friend for life, and I'll be taking his example of selflessness and comradery to heart.

Thanks Sharptonn! You are an awesome person! I have 7 different blades that are the best of the best in my little collection. I will search out scale material to make the scales all the same. I plan on using a high end cigar box to house this 7 day set. You have inspired me to give it a try! I'll send pictures of before and after on I find the right scale material.

Thank You!

When i shave, i use the heal for getting into corners around my heard and to get the hollows in my neck. Most folks use the tip. Im just odd i guess. I have a blade of this era and shape. Its a different animal with no heal. When i use mine i can get a great shave but its not my standard way of shaving. Just think about how old it is and where it might have been when using it. You will love it.

I was thinking the same thing Jerry. I use the heal for my hollows. Also with sharp spike points I have a tendency to get cut. So I'll need to change it up a bit.

Made some repairs and a bunch of sanding in the scales for MikeT's, Gray.



Off to the oil, they go.!

I see that little pin to keep the wedge from spinning!

Holy bagpipes! They are beautiful! Oh man I never thought that they would look THAT good! Oh man, and they don't even have oil yet.
Dude. I'm excited about this one Mike!

I made a set of scales. Dyed bone.

They are ready to pack. The owner will put his own pin holes in them when he gets on his Stenton project.

Their not perfect, Mike. But a far cry from what they were.
I did some rubbin on the blade, a bit ago. I believe they'll compliment each other quite well.

A bit of age n beauty, instead of battered beast, so to say.

I'm hoping you don't want it sanded in any way. To find one this old, in this condition, would be blasphemous IMHO.

Its cleaning up quite well with the 3M and steel wool at the moment, but I got a long way to go. Trust me Bro, ya don't wanna sand it.
