1 down umpteen to go
Not bad at a all, how does feel when shaving that is the main bit,
if it feels good it's a definite success
Job well down and now the learning curve increases again LOLSaved,
to shave another day.

thanks, I'll do better with my next scales, and by the way, the brush is not whipped dog, it's a Thiers Issard

Good job.
I find especially when beginning, use vintage scales as a pattern for length, width and thickness. There was a reason they made them the way they did.
Pin them up with screws and bolts and try stropping with them. For me stropping is where the rubber meets the road. Then experiment and make adjustments.
Keep at it, nice work.
