    Default What would you like to see with this blade?

    Hi everyone, I have been cleaning up this Christensen for a while so that it can be given away... it was part of a resto challenge issued by Bruno a billion years ago, and with the place getting robbed and putting everything back together and my son's first birthday we have been swamped. Anywho, I have finally gotten to a place where I can get back to this razor (luckily I took it west with me, so it wasn't stolen) and I'd like to hear some opinions.

    Basically, I took out the rust with some sandpaper working up from about 150 to 500 or so, then I hit the buffer with some greaseless compounds. Right now it has a nice satin finish with some original looking grinding marks (I had a christensen just like this but in mint condition to compare with and it looks almost exactly like the original).

    Do you guys think I should polish it up more or leave it with the satin type finish?

    I'd also like to hear what you'd like to see scale-wise on this blade.

    any questions, suggestions, comments, etc. will be appreciated.
