Here is my attempt of a re-scale and clean up of WR Humphrey & Co. Sheffield razor.
This is how I got it form the bay:

The blade was hand sanded and polished a bit. The scales are blond horn with bamboo wedge and brass hardware.
This is how it ended up:

I'm on the European Kuro Slate passaround (thanks to eKretz), stills waiting for the stone to be delivered so that I can hone this baby on it.
A special thanks to mycarver for his help in working the horn slate :thumbup:
Notes to self:
-Need to make the wedge a bit thinner for next time.
-Need to spend more time on the sanding, for both the steel and the horn.
Thanks for watching :001_smile, let me know your thoughts and be as sincere as possible, that's the only way I'll learn :laugh:
