Very nice. How does she shave?

The shave is excellent. It took a very keen edge and with the weight of the blade it just plows through the whiskers! But she is off to a customer in England.
8/8 is my favourite size. I like this razor very much.
Very pretty
I saw that one listed on Ebay. Very nice. What is your particular progression to get that mirror finish? I know everybody does it slightly different, and I'm picking everybody's brains 
Any before pics?

depending on how aggressive I need to get using greaseless compound, usually starting at 240,400,600. Then I will do some moderate hand sanding 3M wet/dry 400,600,1500. Then go to emory buffing compound (black) to stainless (green) then to a specialty compound called black magic the to jewelers rouge and clean it all up with some Maas.
Hope that helps

Unfortunately no. I wish I had.
That is one sweet razor. Nice work.
nicely done
That looks great! I'm sure the new owner will love it.
thank you. that sounds very similar to what I've been hearing. there's no escaping hand sanding!
