    Default Engles with matching Brush

    Another restorer sent me this razor pretty much as you see it in the first photo. I guess he knew I had a thing for fancy bolsters and I could do something with it. I took the parts , cleaned them up and made a set of translucent blue scales thinking they would go nicely with the bolsters. While I was at it I made up a brush. It appears darker only because it's so thick compared to the scales.
    Sanded up the blade to a brushed finish and finished it off with brass pins and small collars. The ivory wedge matches the brush as well.

    You can have everything, and still not have enough.
    I'd give it all up, for just a little more.
