Thread: Old Wosty ebay score What year is it?

If the scales are delaminating, i'd fix that before giving it any sort of oil treatment.

I was watching that one too. It looked good, and I think you got it at a good price. But I had just sold my stubby, and of course, just as quickly bought a new one, so there was no bread for doing anything other than looking. I was under the impression that neatsfoot is a good first step in treating the delamination. Anybody know if there are any threads on repairing delamination?

I'm sure that someone will come along with a better response, myself having never had to do it, but I figure epoxy should be enough to hold it back together.

crap. lol i dont know how to do that.. let alone repin a razor.. =[

Depending on the extent of delamination you may not need and may be detrimental to unpin the razor.

Yes, if you oil the scales, epoxy will not stick. You must make repairs in the right order. Check the Wiki. Post in the workshop. Should be some great info there

im a little confused because this website says that this razor is from George Johnson not a Wosty.. around 1815. this razor seems older than that. what do yall think? STRAZORS.com - all about classic razors - George Johnson, Sheffield.
