English steel re-scale and clean up

Here is my attempt of a re-scale and clean up of WR Humphrey & Co. Sheffield razor.

This is how I got it form the bay:


The blade was hand sanded and polished a bit. The scales are blond horn with bamboo wedge and brass hardware.

This is how it ended up:


I'm on the European Kuro Slate passaround (thanks to eKretz), stills waiting for the stone to be delivered so that I can hone this baby on it.

A special thanks to mycarver for his help in working the horn slate

Notes to self:
-Need to make the wedge a bit thinner for next time.
-Need to spend more time on the sanding, for both the steel and the horn.

Thanks for watching , let me know your thoughts and be as sincere as possible, that's the only way I'll learn

Very nice work. Congrats.

Hey there you go! Nice job. Your notes to yourself pretty much sum it up. But you did a fine job of it. Your work paid off handsomely . Congrats!

Your efforts did pay off! Nice Job!

Thanks guys, really glad you liked it

Lovely work !!....The Blonde Horn looks superb (what grit did you polish it up to ?).

Many happy decades shaving with this beauty
