Well, thank you very much! I tried something different this time and only did 6 coats, hitting each with steel wool except the last and then sanding through the progression.You're getting pretty good at the CA finish Jon!!
I start with a coat or two on the inside for protection, then I hold the wedge end and do what I can on the outside while avoiding my thumb. Then I lay them over a pencil-sized metal rod to cure. Grab the pivot end and repeat. They rarely stick and can be easily separated if they do. I must admit that the acetone instant cure stuff has been deployed quite often recently!How do you suspend the scales so that they don‘t get stuck to anything while the CA is curing?
I've been hunting for a few month and I now I have it.I tried to clean a little bit,but she wasnt a bad condition.I have a few Japanese razor,and now I feel kinda happyness.
Yes it is(I hope its not fake ) Im gonna hone it this weekend, Im excited as a new born baby... She was quite cheap on Buyee, I paid around 600$.Im so so so happy.Is that an Iwasaki Tamahagane?
I saw that one two. Saved it to show Mrs. Scandalous. You know, as a "at least I didn't spend *that* much on a razor" kind of thing.Congrats, @fffeco! I am no expert about these razors, but I recently saw one on eBay that sold for much more.
I’m preparing g10 scales for 7/8 razor. The original had the additional 3rd pin in the middle as a rest. Does it make to repeat? What is the role of the 3rd pin?

Lovely! When Olive has features like that it’s very beautiful indeedSome dainty scales from a piece of particularly gnarly Olivewood, for a little Henckels 78.
