I didn't expect any less from you, Tom. [emoji38]

So how's that brush doing, get-r-done?

Got side-tracked with this and that. Put 2 coats on the Century tonight and will sand it up in the morning.
I figure on hitting with 600 and 1200 grits, then 2 more coats of CA. Barring my ADD, I should be done
Sunday morning...




SQUIRREL!!!....

Lovely work on that pipe B52!
The grain looks superb.

Mike that pipe is absolutely amazing!!!! Great job on that

Century brush update -
Wet sanded with .6K and 1.2K. Will give it a couple of hours on a sunny windowsill to help evaporate the moisture.
No pics, I'm sure you know what a scuffed up rubber handle looks like.

In the meanwhile, I'll start cleaning up a couple of Shumate 135s I picked up awhile back. I didn't know that there
are different points on the 135, I thought they were all round points. Not really a square point, french maybe?


Practicing my blurry pics in case I ever decide to let anything go on the bay, har!

Going through some blades trying to find one that's worthy of these scales, and also fit properly. This one big Boker King Cutter fits perfect, but I'm not sure it's worthy of these scales......

The top set of scale is a replication of the vintage ones on Toms Bengall, and the other set is from a Henckels 17. So the razors you seek are all pretty big blades and the 17 is fairly long as well.

This Boker is the biggest King cutter I've seen. Very long and is a 6/8 in size. It fits perfectly, but I'm not sure I want to use them on this blade. I may wait until I find something better.

Did you make these Shaun???

Yes.

I think that finding matches for scales and blades can sometime be a lengthy process. If you have a set of scales you really like you have to find the right size blade that you like as much. I had a series of razors that I really love and started making scales for them. Over time you will see more of my scale making and blade matching adventures. It's a lot of fun.
