    Yeah Pete, the grind is pretty neat, like a "rattler" I guess but a little different than other rattlers I have. Going to see how it hones up this weekend. Looking forward to a shave with it.

    Hey, sincere thanks everyone. I've seen the work you guys can do and some of the razors in your collections so it means aheckuvalot to hear good things from you!

    Anyone know if I should be calling it a "rattler" grind, or is it something different?

    Worked on making replacement scales for a John Barber and giving the blade a little cleaning and rub down. The blade wasn't too bad off to begin with so just some light work to clean it. First I did a test fit with the new scales and lead wedge, then put her together for real. Some nice faint streaking in the scales (hard to see in photos) and a cool grind on the blade. Now it's in line for the hones.

    Which lead did you use, the bullet or pure. Looks like bullet.

    I ended up making this one with the pure. And like you said, it was easier to hammer into shape. It's so shiny in the pics because I just did a final polish on the scales with Mother's plastic polish and hit the wedge with it too.
