Thread: First Restore - I'm not done yet!

I guess if I'm going to admit that I took this beautiful blade to a grinder, I should go all out and admit the rest of my folly. As you can guess, I ain't split no atoms lately...

Tip: If you want to get a sharp edge all the way out to the toe, you have to hone all the way out to the toe! When I got out my gear to reset the bevel on this, I started with the marker, and lo and behold - I had not honed the toe. I guess I was in such a hurry to try this baby out, that I forgot the fundamentals.

After doing the job the right way, I shaved with the project and had an exceptional shave. Not only close, but amazingly smooth. This one goes into regular rotation.

Life isn't about what happened to us in the past, nor is it about what we've done. Life is all about what we do next. Congratulations on a successful project!
Namaste,

That's very kind. i actually had a ball doing the restoration, even learning from the error, um, oversight. I don't really regret the grinding part, as the frown is gone and i didn't remove even a millimeter. I have 2 more W & Bs to restore and am greatly looking forward to getting them started. I wish I had taken before pictures, but all of them have been on the buffer already.

That is one beautiful razor. If it shaves as nice as it looks you have a winner.
