Very awesome buddy! What a cool transformation to see!!! :). I liked it. I'm really starting to get an urge to try shaving my neck with a straight razor, as that's the only part that I shave!!! Lol Be well my friend Craig
Forestwalker111 Straight Razors are great for turning a mundane menial everyday task into a fun skilful hobby, and if your sharpen then yourself then its a great way improve your honing skills!
Forestwalker111 haha I agree with Ray, below. It turns shaving from a chore, into a real luxurious event. These days I cant wait for my hair to grow out to use my razors again! :D I've thought about shaving my neck with it, but a little nervous as it makes for awkward hand placement! lol
What the f did I even just watch?? Buddy, that was an epic restoration! You and Ray did a cracking job on her, what a beautiful piece. Shame you bearded heathens won't get any use of it hahahaha
EveryDay Knife Guy haha EDKG, you must be playing catch-up on your subs again? :-p Also, i'm actually baby face smooth right now! Used this ol'e girl to shave it off too! Only did it because I have to stand at a wedding next weekend. Then its all comin' back! ;-P
Looks great! and thanks for the complements. I noticed you worked on your scales a bit after the peening job? They really look great, like to know what you did after? I have to say with a razor like that around I don't know how you have the self control to keep that beard! I'd be in the middle of shaving and accidentally take to much off one side then have to compensate on the other side until i'd end up with no beard at all! Just because its so much fun to shave with.
111raybartlett Thanks dude! and the compliments were well deserved! As for the scales, I used the felt wheel and #6 polishing compound! But that left a dry look, so I finished with a nice coat of mineral oil! I did have that struggle with shaving when I first started my beard! I'd trim a little extra on one side, then a little more on the other, and so on! haha I'm always back and forth on whether I want to keep the beard or shave clean! I do miss that full how lather and long gliding razor strokes... sigh...
111raybartlett Haven't touched it since!!!! I want to re-scale the A. Wilson SO BADLY! Especially since the others turned out so incredible! Those pins look so great buddy. Whatta ya say? Are you up for pinning another one?! :D
Of course! I'll have a few evenings alone next week, so i'll have time to spare. Should take that amount of time for you to design and fabricate new scales.
That's the problem! i'm just not sure what I want, or where to get it! Well, I want wood! But, I want it to be something with a lot of different coloring. Something exotic. May have to order it... not sure. Know of anything?
Great job buddy nice work. It's great when you can do it yourself. Cheers
Rabbit Hunter Thanks RH! I couldn't agree more. Much more satisfaction when YOU have completed the project, and cheaper! lol
Man it turned out great!!
rodney newbury Thanks buddy! I think so too!
