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.

So....Hows about a 'shortcut through the barn' tute from YOU, Karl?

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!!!

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.
