Finish razor after shortening the blade.
Hi
In an earlier post I shown you how I shortened the blade on my KBextra #68 after cracking it while polishibng with a dremel.
Now the rasor is finish and I made new scales. It as a 2¼ cutting edge and I must say after honing it and shaving this morning it's a good shaver.
The shorter blade is easier around the neck area.
Here are some pictures.
The wood is Amarante (you call it somethinmg else) and the wedge Maple. The finish is Lines oil. I used nuts, washers and bolts again that I thined down and polish for look. I also thinned washers to .25mm to put The original I find them to thick.

Hey Jacques, this may sound wierd, but was Hull renamed to Gatineau? I just did a search for Hull to see how close you were to the city, and Google Maps puts me at the city I knew as Hull, but it shows the name Gatineau. What gives?

I have a 5/8 Henkels that came with a W&B I bought on eBay, and there was a chunk missing from the toe. I read your last post on shortening the blade, and I took my time last night and made the cut. Thanks for posting the info.
Now I'm at the polishing stage, and I have to say I hope mine looks a nice as yours when I'm done. Strong work on that razor!

For Tulip...let us see your work when you are done.
For Kasperitis....Hull as change the name to Gatineau. They regrouped several small cities under the Gatineau name.
Laval is about 2½ hours drive from Gatineau (Hull) Hull is pretty in the spring with all those tulips (no pund intended Tulip) all over the city. It is worth going (in may I think)
And it would make a great shaver for this;: http://straightrazorpalace.com/showthread.php?t=17384
