    Used about 12-15 coats of CA actually. It was really kind of a pain in the ass cause I stuck to it a couple of times but it looks great now and feels very solid.

    I think you did a very nice job. Must have taken some time with all the coats of "CA" . Roger.
    Just another day at the office!

    At least it dries quickly! I tried it on a pen that I turned and all kind of problems. Eventually I either got the wood too thin or too hot from over sanding and it split all the way to the barrel.

    Bro, that is sweet!! The last time I was in at Andrews (in D.C.), a friend pointed me to "The Art of Shaving" and I've now started to use a brush. Next will be a straight razor.

    I agree completely. My wife gave me a starter set from this store as a valentines day gift. Its amazing what a "real" shave feels like! I still have not mastered a lot of the steps so i end up taking about 25-30 minutes shaving but I do enjoy the feeling of a great shave. I have been playing around with the idea of getting a straight razor but they are a little pricey. I know I will eventually take the plunge.

    Nice work on the razor there!

    Brushes you say? Here are a few of my vintage restores.
