Thanked: 4827Yes, more loft on that brush than I generally have. I do like brushes with a lot of backbone though.

I 'Think' I can see where my Harley 'Marked it's territory' on the floor in that pic.
Sorry Dave, I should have thought about the slight leakageOur house is as Neil left it- an Aladdins cave of 'stuff'.

Thanked: 3215“The blade face is currently sanded out to a Trizact 1200 grit equivalent. It is a nice looking satin but doesn’t look right for the blade. Not sure how to achieve a glazed finish, maybe one of you guys has some ideas on how to do that?”
Hand sand with a wine cork and 600 Wet & Dry, from 600, 1,000 wet and dry will get you to near mirror, then 2k is close to mirror.
Then Crocus paper for satin or a good metal polish or green stainless compound on a buffer for mirror. Red rouge on a loose wheel will brighten the color further.
Lots of how to in the Library under repair/ restoration or hand sanding & buffing in the Advanced search. I think Mike used a Dremel.

Thanked: 154Just finished honing this little beauty for my wife
Beautiful is important, but when all is said and done, you will always be faithful to a good shaver while a bad one may detter you from ever trying again. Judge with your skin, not your eyes.

Thanked: 154Neither.
She really appreciates a close shave with a straight (that I have to perform) and has had her own razor for years now : a Le Grelot Royal Canada.
I bought this one in December, and well, we agreed that with its razer thin (like, a small 5/8) blade it would suit her well and be a pretty gift. I just had to find a pretext and some time to hone it.
