    Default John Elliot Best Silver Steel Restore named Colossus

    Here is my latest restore project. I learned so many things while conducting this restore. It will make all my restore easier due to what now I know.

    The razor I named it Colossus from X Men and it dates from about 1840-1850. Not a tone of history about this manufacturer. It is what makes this razor that unique to me. I made the scales from Cocobola and used spar varnish for first time. Happy with results and please enjoy.Name: pic1.jpg Views: 499 Size: 18.6 KBName: pic2.jpg Views: 491 Size: 15.7 KBName: pic3.jpg Views: 474 Size: 17.3 KBName: pic4.jpg Views: 480 Size: 16.8 KBName: photo 1.JPG Views: 460 Size: 18.8 KBName: photo 2.JPG Views: 510 Size: 120.6 KBName: photo 3.jpg Views: 513 Size: 64.5 KBName: photo 4.jpg Views: 512 Size: 51.2 KBName: scales 2.JPG Views: 479 Size: 114.3 KBName: scales 1.JPG Views: 483 Size: 160.5 KBName: scales 3.JPG Views: 508 Size: 102.9 KBName: finished 4.JPG Views: 493 Size: 154.2 KBName: finished 3.JPG Views: 495 Size: 163.4 KBName: finished 2.JPG Views: 495 Size: 193.4 KBName: finished 1.JPG Views: 489 Size: 182.6 KB
