Sanding on this Morley & Sons. This one arrived in the mail today and should come out really nice. Attachment 254406
Nice job, I like Morleys they take a good edge. Looks like that one hardly has any hone wear. Good grab!
It looks like a pretty good candidate for sure BeJay. It looks to still be in top shape.
Depends on how volatile the E.O. is, eg Frankincense lasts longer than BayRum so a few E.O.'s in your mix will give a layered effect to the scent over time. Most of the commercial aftershaves with a really long scent time would use synthetic fragrance oils.Quote:

After drilling I opened up a small taper to give the pin somewhere to swell while peening.
I use one of these different shaped rotary files for the job.

Then on to tightening it up slowly side by side. Then onto the wedge.

Bit of shortsightedness on my part as when I got to the pivot I realized the blade had too much play in the hole for my liking so I had to go with a bushing style washer that Tom graciously sent me to take up the play. Not quite the symmetry at the pins I like, but muh, Roll with it.

You can also see the different alloy colour on the tail where I performed my silver solder repair.

All in all though I'm happy with the results.
Now to the stones!
Cheers men.

Mike my friend,
This is exactly why I posted my cleaned up razor where I did!
Very Nice Work!

Looks pretty neat, Mike! :D
I'm not sure you will be able to easily top those scales and brush set my friend. It is all looking over the top great. I need to get back to work on some scales and blades. This work really gets in the way of doing projects.
