Looking good, I think you have inspired me to get started on my first restoration.

New pics new pics.. apologies for the long delays
Work commitments and other life issues keep me busy
Anyways on to the restore
I'm liking how this razor is coming along
It's now at 1500 grit finish
I'm waiting to get my order of metal sanding pads
Then my aim is for a nice satin finish to the blade
Working out what scales to use
and I will probably need to make a wedge
The original is a bit the worse for wear
Have a good weekend

Tip for a nice satin: go high then step back. Say, if you want an 800 grit scratch pattern, go up to 1000 or 1500 like you'd normally do, then then sand with 800. It will give you a much cleaner base to work from.

Well at last I have put this one together
I know its been a really long break between posts on this one
Short version of the story - I broke a scale putting it all together back in Feb
so I made another set up and they got damaged when putting the razor together
So I put it all aside and decided to leave for a few weeks
Time dragged on and I finally got my act together
And now have my razor put together
Just got to hone and shave test it now, pics below
3rd set of scales in the making
Scales shaped and trial fit the wedge
Mock razor fitted and checked (thanks to Glen aka gssixgun for the tip)
More to come

That looks amazing. My eyes are playing tricks on me in the last photo - the blade appears to be about a foot long!
Could you explain the benefits of sanding with windex and wd40? I've used wd40 when sanding but haven't given it any thought... besides it's wet and I don't have a sink nearby.... Again, excellent work on the restore!

A very nice job of work there! Now, enjoy the blade as a shaver!
