    Now that's shinnier that a diamond in a goats azzzzz....to quote a fellow member, which means I love it...looks shiny enough to see my nose hairs, which is perfect.

    Personally, I prefer a blade with all that dirt, gunk and dried hair mixed with old shaving soap....ohhh...sorry, "patina" ........ removed completely...besides, it's better for the razor anyhow.

    Great job, love it!

    After reading this I must admit that I examined a passing goats azzzz to ascertain whether or not it had a diamond up it. Easy money, I thought...

    I am writing this from my hospital bed, sporting a splendid small horseshoe mark imprinted deeply in my forehead. Should bring me luck, the nurses say...

    To any of my fellow SRPers who have wondered where goats keep their riches, keep away from their nether regions I say, as they are apt to take things a bit personally.

    I know. I am that soldier.

    Regards,
    Neil

    I'm not so sure about the goat thing but I agree with having all of the rust old soap or patina as you put it removed fully. I like my razors restored like I like my cars restored. Shiny!
    What a curse be a dull razor; what a prideful comfort a sharp one

    Great work Joel.
    I'm restoring a couple now and have been watching this and other restore threads with some interest.
    Fine line when it comes to old blades between restored, or polished to death as I am learning.
    Finally put together a proper buffing wheel kit so am experimenting with 80-180 grit compounds on some deeply pitted blades.
    Definitely, based on your results, I am taking the ones I'm working on down a bit more..
    Nice work on those ebony scales to BTW..
    Cheers.
