Very nice Doc...always wanted 1 of this old razor especially done by you but challenging from my location...
I will look forward to the outcome...

That regrind and finish looks fantastic, @Doc226!

When you do a regrind, is all the work done on the grinder? Do you need to do any of the blade work by hand?

Most of the regrind is on the 2x72, my finest belt is 1500, if you want a mirror finish you do need to hand finish it.

This one I just polished a tad.

Now I know why guys buy grinders. Just thinking about hand sanding a blade like that makes my hands hurt.
