Thread: finished

Its finished ,it just needs to be honed ,the blade is not as tight as I would like ,however I cant bring myself to peen it any more to tighten it up,call me a chicken I dont care , at the wedge end there is what looks like a crack,however it is where the pearl shell had layed down a new layer of MOP
kind regards Peter

Great work Peter! Keep us posted on how your baby shaves.

Fantastic job, Peter - a real work of art.

That's just awesome Peter, you should be commended.

I have heard of washers and such used at the pins to help distribute the pressure and get the pins tight on fragile material like thaht. Maybe for next tim. All in all, scales which are a little loose on that are NO deterent, but because of that I only give it a 9.99 out of 10. We can round that off for simplicity's sake.

Magnificent work!

Looking good!

Oh baby that is so nice.
I have to ask;
Are you planning on selling any of these masterpieces?
How do you get that matt finish?

That is some very nice work. You did a very good job with it. I can appreciate all that it took to get to this stage.

Having examples like this in the mix will keep me on my toes, for sure.

Well its been honed and I have used it once, I`m not going to tell you its not good beacuse I made it,all modesty aside it dose shave very well,but I did lose a bit of bark around the chin area and I think that is due to the weight. the large thich wedge shaped blade and the brass and wood liners plus the MOP make it one heavy razor. I dont think this is a problem it is something that you just have to get used to ,practice ,practice ,pracitce.
Kind regards Peter
