Nice! Way to go, Steve!

Nice looking razor Engine!

Thanks guys. When i start on my W&B, it won't need much because it looks beautiful already. It is a stamped masonic razor & the stamp is nice & uniform all the way across. It has never been polished & it will never be polished, at least not on a wheel. The scales are in excellent condition for translucent scales & will be better once I finish cleaning it up. I figure I'll put the blade in my vibratory tumbler with some polishing media.







I know this isn't Show & Tell but here is my James Johnson masonic razor. I will not do a thing to this one except soak it in neatsfoot oil. I love the big collars on it. I think it was made from 1830-1840.

Looking good Steve, you sure have some NiceN's.

What makes you think this is stamped?
Looking at the pic, it looks like a really deep etch.

I used little ziplock bags, but I think you are right pill bottles will be harder to misplace

The older I get the more of those I have around.

And a new batch of them every month. [emoji4]
