Thread: What are you working on?

The C backwards C is part of the Joseph Elliot mark but only part of the mark. I’m of little help but have to say I’m curious too.

And here we go...



Ready for the hones

That mark with the C and Backward C with a stem in the middle is at both ends of the mark. Also under the Co is the word Mark and something under the BK but it's too far gone to make out.

Thanks for pointing this out Shaun. Any kinda help is better than none.

A close-up after being cleaned up.
Oh, And here is a close-up of my pinning just for you Steve. You can do it!

Beautiful clean-up, Jerry. WRT the markings: Clearly, it's a Burger King blade (and I just told a whopper!)

Nice work Jerry!

Nice finish Jerry. Man I need to get back into it.

Gentlemen....a word of thanks and recognition to PaulFlus for his most excellent efforts undertaken resurrecting several razors on my behalf. Im a newbie who picked up an old box of blades indirectly from a tag-sale. Paul worked 4 of them back into a form that i believe their original maker would envy (pics already posted by paul). The blades and scales look great. Really awesome. The only problem is they're too sharp. Or maybe it had something to do with arrogance during my maiden shave. The second shave was a touch better (wife said she had to be in the house so i wouldnt risk bleeding out). Regardless, I'm confident that with razors like these it will only get better. Hats off to Paul. PS....anyone in need of his services may have to wait as my box has a few more to be rejuvenated.

Happy to read it all worked out for you Steve.
Nice job Paul.

Very kind of you to say Steve. I pray I am not misunderstood when I say that I struggled when Steve asked me if he could give a shout out for the work I did; "don't let your left hand know what your right hand is doing" and all. As I told him I did not do it for money or praise but because that is what we do here and hopefully a mention of it helps foster that. Even saying that seems immodest but I want to make a point.

We get so distracted and even divided by unrelated topics ("chief of sinners though I be,") about other things such as, oh, I don't know…hockey for instance. Yet at it's core and beneath all the layers this site is about preserving an art form that could easily disappear in a technological world. In addition we are preserving treasures handed down from our ancestors which could also be lost along with the history of them…but then, you all know that and that still isn't the point.

As many here will testify this site demonstrates a higher level of fraternal support than any other I have witnessed. I myself have been given much help and shown great patience by many (those of you out there you know who you are). Much has been given to me. Hopefully I can pay forward a bit of that. So I guess I refer back to my lessons where it is written,"So you also, when you have done everything you were told to do, should say, ‘We are unworthy servants; we have only done our duty.’ "

Generous and helpful to a fault.

You da man Paul
