Geneva Pyramid rescale

[onimaru55]

My good buddy in Thailand & Genco fan David sent me this little 9/16 Pyramid for a mini restore.
Edge was a shocker so went for a bevel set to be sure before giving a verdict.

B4 & after bevel reset pics first up. Initial bevel was set with DMT's. Pic is after some buff work.

Blade was surprisingly in good condition, cosmetically, so minimal work there.
Next was clean up the tang which was plated. Took some work to grind it clean of rust & finally I made new acrylic scales & wedge.
Awesome shaver like most U.S. vintage razors

As I said over at SRP - This one looks fantastic!

Based on that post I now have 3 Geneva Pyramids inbound (2 square points and one round like this) to determine which is the best shape for me to restore for my own den.

Nice work Oz! Nice Scales! Is the razor still 9/16 or is it a 4/8 now?

Thanx Luc. It's 9/16 back of spine to edge. I'm guessing maybe it was 5/8 when first made.

PS Thanx for the comments guys.
