I got the T.T.C. cleaned up nicely, the sanding took whatever was left of the etching clean off, and the makers stamp also. The blade appears to have a wavy gleam to it...maybe more sanding to smooth it out???

The Taylor "Eye Witness" - cleaned up very nice. I am having a hard time getting a really nice mirror finish though. Honing is needed, and I am waiting on materials for scales (MOP, Paua, and mammoth ivory). I have some nice gazelle horn (in hand) that I need to cut into slabs. I am undecided which I am going to use.

I am hoping to add pictures after work. *** Not a straight razor, but I was gifted a Gillette Fat Boy adjustable that is very clean, and a Fuller Badger brush also very clean.
