    Default Shiny Obsession

    Is there a name for this? The Obsession for shiny polished razors?
    I spent 11 hours polishing and still not satisfied.
    So I started taking photos of my progress... to convince myself that its actually getting shinier…

    Cant sleep... haven't eaten for a few days now but i keep going... Help!!!!!

    I hear you on this one. I just brought a blade
    to a very nice shine, but not being
    satisfied I ordered some 2500 and even 3000
    grit wet/dry to see JUST HOW SHINY I
    can get it.

    I've got shiny now smooooth is my problem.....

    Ths thing I end up with may not be a razor blade but it will be smoooth....

    erk..

    My pins arrived from microfasteners today and my popsicle stick scales are just about done.

    my first try at a rescale refurbish is unlikely to be up to the SRP standard but I'm gonna post anyways.

    Haven't tried the rescale yet, but soon, working on the blade and original scale.

    It's called OCD -- obsessive compulsive disorder. It's cheaper than RAD, and you even save on food!
