    Ditto Mike. I'm about ready to pick your brain on the James Johnson. I have a plan and I want to ask your opinion.

    Finishing up Steve's razor.

    After the oil bath, and cleaning up the collars, I gave thescales a satin polish, and touched up the engravings in the scales with the black, wax stick.

    Pinned with original collars and wedge, with brass pins.

    I discovered a new trick while working with this set. Epoxy can be tinted with food coloring. The utmost smallest amount of yellow coloring, was all that was needed to closely match the yellow in the scales.
