Great work from all you fellas lately I'll join the ranks again I'm missing my poorly razors.

You poor poor man!

Send him some of that Black and White hair from your friends to put into a handle.

Baking!!!

Well what did you bake? Are the holes for a topping to soak down through?

When I get caught up on razor projects, this will be next. W&B Celebrated. 13/16. As you can see, some of the bottom of the stamp on the blade has been honed away and a lot of hone marks above the bevel and on the spine. The scales were damaged beyond repairing. Crossing my fingers I can get the hone marks out of this thing without taking any more of the blade stamp away.

I am curious what the baking is.
I would concentrate on simply reducing the scratches from previous buffing on that W&B and not worry so much about making it perfect and shiny. Sometimes we can only make them so pretty, they are old and many have a lot of experience.
I got one more off the bench and into the to be honed box today. I have one waiting in line for the vibrating tumbler and one in the tumbler. The one waiting needs scales, but the one in the tumbler, I have the original scales for it. Here is the one that needs to be honed.

Thanks for the comment Rez. I will do just that. Reduce the scars. Do you recommend the buffer or just doing it by hand?
BTW, I like those washers you got on that one. A touch of fancy to it. Bravo.

Found that my old fixtures are a smaller size by an inch here, there.
Googlefu showed a Dremel cut-off wheel was best. Fragile stuff!
Got 6 of them done. was up til 1 AM on that one!

At work we cut them on a table saw . Tape the line to cut in the middle and cut fast. Slow down and they crack. Fast makes heat and they sort of melt. Hesitate and they crack... I know that sound counter intuitive.

Yes, the Dremel wheel melts it's way in as well. Gotta keep it moving at an exact pace.
Me and table saws have never been introduced and I hope to never have to cut the stinky things again. Smelled like a urinal!
