For me, it seems to be a precise angle. It is interesting how I have got a few to show blue as I had filled the tang stamps with silver. Might be the answer? Must be some camera setting?

Mike, I look forward to testing the edge on this golden Genco before its trip south. You did all the grunt work so all I had to do was wash and go..

That was the plan. New ya had others on the stove, and wanted to get done. Figured it was gonna be a bit before ya got to er.
I think yer figuring out my high razor output, Mike. [emoji482]

No pictures. But today my old man and I fitted a new loft hatch with ladders, so I can utilise the storage.

The downside of all of this is that I now need to go up and start putting down flooring panels.

Thats cool !!
Is it made by Rolls, or do you think its hand crafted, to fit the razor, by someone.?

Four more on the bench.

The Wosty needs cleaned up, and bug bitten horn scales, repaired .
.
The Lion's Brand, needs a clean up, scales cleaned, bleached & one scale extended, at the pivot end.

The Case, Manganese. Just clean up blade and scales, and pin.

The Raug, Graefrat. Is a easy clean.
(Stay in scales), but might change my mind after the initial cleaning.

I won't have any time this week for my razor hobby. My machine shop is backed up with work. Two Chev. small blocks to bore/hone, rebuild heads for the same, bore/hone 1947 Willys Jeep and do the valves on same, and then rebuild 3 cylinder heads for a Case diesel tractor. Just keep posting outback and MikeB52 at least I can look at eye candy when I come in from the shop.

Only chev i ever rebuilt was my 327 in my old 68 Chevelle. That was a fun project back in da day.
Finished the gold seal cept for the stones.

Just need to clean up the pins a bit more and try to take a better picture.

Just fooling around,

I've got this old jig for sharpening DE blades, thought I'd try getting this old Gem blade sharpened up. Trying to set the bevel on my worn out Atoma 1200, then onto a double sided Barbers hone that thinner than the Atoma. Will make a micro bevel but I think it's the only way. Nice thing is, the head of the jig swivels so I can do 10 strokes on one side, flip and do 10 strokes on the other. Sure would be cool if I can get a decent edge on this thing.
