Just some fun stuff heading North to Alaska

Finished these three up over the weekend all three were done to a Satin Glow Finish by request also

George Wostenholm IXL x 2

Both in Silver Twill G-10 by request I used Black Linen Micarta for the wedges and NiAg pins with SS washers stacked on the outside.. The internal bearing washers are solid brass..

The Bigger one is a full 9/8+ the "Smaller" one is 7/8 sounds funny when you call a 7/8 razor small :p

Honing on all three = Chosera 1-5-10 with a select Coticule for the finish...


Thanks for looking

The silver-twill G10 is a perfect match for those blades, and for their finish. All show beautiful workmanship. I'm especially jealous of the 7/8", and am doubly (triply?) envious of all, heading "North, to Alaska"...

Thanks for posting!

Beautiful razors Glen, someone's gonna be very happy with those!

I'm always amazed how you take something old and make it look better and more interesting than new.

Very nice work! the satin glow finish is very appropriate for these vintage blades!

:tu:beer1: Glen, when you die, the world will have lost an ar-teest... bravo, good sir, bravo!

Glen all three are very nice. You're work is something else. As always thanks for sharing

You have given these straights a new lease on life Glen. Your work always sets the standards for others to follow.

As was said, the satin really goes great with the scales. Nice!

Awesome! That Is All I Can Say....

Those are gorgeous, love that satin finish!!

As always very nice work! I like the 'glitter' of the first two but the traditonal look on the last one really appeals to me!

I guess I'm getting older and less adventures! :rofl2::roflmao

Glen absolutely breathtaking results! Thank you so much for posting your work. It's like candy to look at! And I am the diabetic. Good grief!

Just got these in the mail, you did an amazing job bringing the steel back to life. Cant wait to shave with them over the next few mornings.

They Are Beauties! .Congrats

Those Wostenholms are absolutely amazing! That is some great work.

That 6/8 Greaves is down right handsome. Speaks to me and I'm a 4/8 advocate.

And the production line of top notch restores by Glen keeps on rolling, and another batch of very pleased customers awaits, well done Glen nothing less than I expect from you.

Jamie.
