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
Wow, Garrison-Your patience and skill seemingly know no bounds! Will you adopt me as an apprentice for about a year so that I can (maybe) get to your level? :)
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:
