Hmmmm well yes even a year is to long for a beautiful razor.....
Well just to keep you updated on the Dubl Duck Goldedge, its been stripped scales cleaned and polished.
The blade did have start of rust around the pivot hole that has been removed, blade has been polished and cleaned ready give it's gold wash back and that will be done tomoz. As tonight I'm out with the wife for a meal and a few beers, I might even have a boogie that's a dance.
Anyways on to the pics so far
As you can see rust starting

Well here she is sporting a good clean and polish, and a new gold wash plus painted lettering. Now do I do the ducks on the shank red or leave blue, but take into account the stamping is not that deep on this razor....
But here is the pictures so far

made some progress.
grinding pretty much done. harbor freight 1x30 belt grinder:
heat treat in a coffee can forge with a propane torch as the heat source:
heat til non-magnetic then heat a bit more, the quench in canola oil:
a file skates off of it, so plenty hard. now to start tempering

This is very nice to see! So it doesn't take a huge tool shop to do a straight razor yourself
Please keep us posted!

it does not seem to so far, and, as long as the blade doesnt crack (its much thinner than the knife i made), i have done everything that is left (cleaning up the razor, polishing, scales, honing). i am sure with more experience and a better grinder the results will get better and better but i am happy with how it is going so far.@Chaloney

tempering is underway. using a toaster oven. razor is in back. in front is a marking knife i had made but had not tempered yet.
Well just starting my next one C & W Higginbotham Sheffield razor, now this one is a huge learning curve for me but this is what it looks like at the moment.....
As you can see why now lol....
