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

Looks like Fun and Progress!
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 leakage

“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.

Just 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.

Is your wife new to straights or were you just tuning up her razor.

Neither.
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.
