Yes, I make a clean smooth surface first then apply satin finish. In my experience a satin finish is very unforgiving and tends to highlight flaws instead of hide them.Quote:

Afterward, I went and reset the bevel - an quick, easy job at that point.
I sorta would have put it this way?Quote:

Else, I am so very confused! :confused:
Still, you had it pretty darn flawless there toward the end! ;)
It's all put together, honed up and I just completed an effortless three-pass shave. With the smiling edge and the weight behind it the shave was butter! Very satisfying to enjoy using this razor. Thanks for looking and all the encouragement along the way!
Beautiful!

Well done, very elegant, Enjoy!
Very nice! I particularly liked how you emphasized simple, even, hard work. Thanks for sharing.
It looks smashing! :tu
A take from all this.....If you cannot draw a straight line, how would you sand one? :rofl2:
Some extraordinary skill is involved!
Still, I shall continue trying! :D
Well done.
Awesome work!

You the man, with the satin touch. Very nice work, Garrison. [emoji482]
I watched the whole process with great interest. The long way around the barn for sure. You have the patience of a saint. Very nicely done. :chapeau
So....Hows about a 'shortcut through the barn' tute from YOU, Karl? :shrug:Quote:

Seriously, though-Great work!
Woooooow!!! This is just an amazing thread!!! How come i have missed it till now???
Garrison, you are certainly a master! Thanks for so many lessons you teach here!!!
:bow
That is a thing of beauty! When you look at the blade you started out with and then look at the finished product..... just awesome. Maybe one day, I can do that, but it sure isnt now.
You should whip up a batch of those domed collars and put them in the Movember auction. Those are sweet.
Your work is incredible Tuzi. One day i'd like you to restore a razor for me.
Lovely quality job there Garrison :beer1:
