You did a great job on that razor. I can tell you put a lot
of hours in it. Congratulations.

Wow! Nice job,

Did you have to de-pin it to get it so clean?

A faded beauty regained its nobelty! Wow! :bow

Sorry for the late answer. Yes I had to de-pin the Razor. The second scale without the Logo was cracked. So I had to make a new one, from an other old hornhandle.
For the mirror finish on the blade, I needed 3 days. Of cause of the strong pitting I worked with 80 grit at the beginning, to sand this out.

That is NICE!!! :tu

And of course now you would like to sell it ?....to ME ????

What great work!

That's a beautiful piece of work. I have never seen a razor of that style or configuration before. Does it have special name, Swayback or something?
