    I give to you....The Gray.

    No sanding to the blade, just 3M metal restorer, some steel wool, and Flitz on a rag. Scales had a bunch of delamination, which were repaired with CA, sanded to 1000 grt. W/D paper, near week soak in Neatsfoot oil, and polished with Flitz.

    Pinned with brass rod, original collars n wedge.

    While not anywhere as nicely framed the scenery is quite majestic in Freddie's area--These are some snapshots taken from the decks of the guest house. If he ever wants a renter he knows who to call.

    Can't forget the most beautiful site to behold there--Freddie's wife on her very first motorcycle ride.

    I keep looking at that group pic, wow!
    I've got a package I'm mailing out on Monday for you, I think you will like it.. A little work project that I think you'll have fun with. This one is for you to keep.
    Great choice on Austin's collars, I'll send a set of those to replace the ones you used.
    That Ebro was NOS until I tried honing it without tape back in 2015. Took the advice of a guy I bought a few razors online, to NOT use tape, and then I really regretted the decision as you could see the new hone wear on the spine.
    He will not hone razors people send him with taped spine, refuses, says the tape grinds down and the honing moves away from the edge.
    Now, I understand this, but I would rather have a less than perfect honing and save the spine. Just my limited opinion.
    Anyway, I'm totally stoked about these razors, looking forward to the amazing shaves and posting on SOTD!
    I'll need to work on my skills with photography, no competition, but some of you guys would give Ansel Adams a run for his money!
