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
9/8 I-XL:
7/8 I-XL:
Both Together:
This is a 6/8 Greaves & Sons "Sheafworks" razor with a unique grind the scales are Black Linen Micarta with a MOP wedge.. I used all solid brass for the pins and the washers..
6/8 Greaves:
Honing on all three = Chosera 1-5-10 with a select Coticule for the finish...

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!

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

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!
