    Well done!
    I think every shave den should have at least one Geo. Wostenholm, and this is a fine example...

    Geeze , I have the same IXL razor, would you pm me to help mine look like that? Is our razor a wedge or half wedge or what? You have done an excellent job of restoring that blade and love the scales. Wish mine looked like that. How old do you think that razor is?

    As I said elsewhere, it looks amazong Maciek. I love the lined wedge.

    I'm delighted I sent the blade to you.
