Thumbs-up for Gssixgun

[AndrewJM]

I sent a razor off to Glen (gssixgun) for restoration... Even though I haven't received it yet, I am really impressed with the work and attention to detail.

The razor was an old Wade & Butcher anchor, in very average condition, as evident by the pics below. The scales weren't usable, so he made new ones from Lignum Vitae wood, and a matching brush with TGN high mountain white badger. Not sure of the loft etc, as I trusted him to set it as he liked his brushes.

For the brush he recessed a brass anchor into the base, to match the brass wedge in the razor.

When discussing the restoration project, I said I would like something in the nautical theme, due to the anchor, hence the use of Lignum Vitae wood. From there I pretty much left it with Glen and his expertise, and very happy with the results.

I must say also, that communication from Glen was fantastic (not only on this razor but the other couple also with him at the moment). I'm not a rich man, but I feel this restoration has been worth every penny '

Anyway, below are some before and after pics.
