Pinned it back up and honed her up.
Time for a test shave.!!

Nice job Mike. Very good looking boker!
Test shave was flawless.
A very quiet, smooth shaver.
Just as a wedge should be.
So it's raining here and I was doing the Maas thing on my Wiss scales. No bueno....
Went out to the buffer and the white stick and worked 45 minutes. Stuff has to get hot to polish to black, it seems.
Looking good, I guess. Could not resist hitting the tang and blade a bit here and there..
Lazy me! :D

Now datsa nice lookin Razor.
Nice save...as usual, Tom. [emoji482]
That's incredible to see such a transformation. One day I hope to reach that level!
Excellent craftsmanship Sir!
All Right,, All Right,,,:rolleyes: I guess it looks O.K. :beer2:
:rofl2: Thanks, guys. Just a lot of light stuff works better than a little heavy stuff, for me, anyway.
Not done yet. Still have some details and then honing.
Tom if that thing shaves as nice as my Wiss it will be a keeper for sure. Nice razor.:)
