Just noticed I didn't get all the stuff/polish/compound off from around the pin on the Wood Scales. Dammit! Pictures show too much at time.
It's just Sharpening, right?

Here is the "William A. Shul" Razor cleaned up. I had asked folks about finding this name, but I never got anywhere.
https://straightrazorpalace.com/razo...azor-name.html
I'd really like to know its origin more than anything. Anyway, Here it is cleaned up and pinned. The name was etched on and got sanded away cleaning it up. Hard rubber scales sanded and polished up. Ready for the hones. A 5/8- with a little pitting still but mainly on the back side. User grade, nothing fancy but the price was right and its vintage so it should be a nice shaver.
BTW, I've worked the heal a little sense the pic was taken. The blade has a nice smile on the spine so I had to take a little of the heal off to match it up. Looks more better now. Just going to take a lot more work on the stones.Last edited by Gasman; 11-13-2018 at 12:23 AM.

Thanked: 66havent posted for a while. some recent re-scales ive been working on ...
i enjoy working with horn the most these days but the prep time is a killer to thin, flatten, straighten and polish. i can kick out two acrylic re-scales in the same time it takes to make one horn.

Thanked: 4826The three pin design is great. I too like horn. Honestly I take and flatten a bunch at a time so when it is time to make scales they are thinned and ready to roll. Rasps, a scraper, files to tune the last and sand. I can go fast on horn. The scraper can take an amazing amount of material in a short period of time, and it leaves a pretty clean surface.

Thanked: 4826My process is pretty streamline. I do my cutout, with they two side stuck together with double sided tape, finalize the shape with square edges with the rasp, then put the pair in the engravers block, and use the scraper to dome or round out the scale, touch up a spot here or there with a fine file, and then start sanding at either 320 or 400, then I go to the sink with 400 wet, then 600, then 1000 then buff.
