500 is a nice round number.
So there is a limit..lol
I didn't know man.
At least there isnt, till the wife finds out. [emoji57]
I don't have that problem.
A Hess #5 and Rubberset 400 #3 & #4. The 400's bottoms came out like mint coins.
After studying these photos I'll have to polish a little more before the knots get here. My tired old eyes don't see what macro photos can. Har! ;)

The 400 #3 & #4 are the same 25mm ferrule size. I'm not sure what the originals had, horse and boar maybe? Both were off cream colored.

This is a pipe razor I just snagged off EBay.
Looks to me like a poorly used strop with a lot of heavy wear on the spine , more toward the tip.
The original owner used a poor technique :<)
It came through to me fairly sharp needing little stropping.
The horn scales have notches nipped out rather like mouse chewing.
Wasn't quite satisfied with the spine shading of this reclad project, so I redid the spine.

Came out much richer with the additional treatment.
Cheers.
Excellent work Mike. I'm sure it looks even better in person.
