    Default Wostenholm Non-IXL wedge

    Pretty self explanatory on the razor. I finished with 600 grit greaseless and made scales out of cottonwood with an ebony wedge and a CA finish. Pictures aren't the best nor the worst. I just need to get it honed up now!

    I don't recall ever seeing cottonwood used for anything...where I grew up, folks just cussed the tree for destroying sewer lines... but that's gorgeous!
    When you are dead, you don't know that you are dead. It's difficult only for the others.
    It's the same when you are stupid.

    I thought non-IXL razors were made by Joseph Allen as a play on Wostenholm's IXL stamp.

    Wow! I always hated those pesky cottonwoods! That looks killer!
