Wostenholm Frameback
MY FIRST FRAMEBACK...
Got this off the bay a while ago.
Just got around to having some time to mess with it.
It was advertised having bone scales but It didn't look like it had any washers on the pins.
I THINK it is IVORY
Anyways there was a little chip in the blade so I honed that out and then gave it a quick clean up.
Didn't want to go FULL mirror on this one.
Pinned it without washers (my FIRST time doing this) It was kinda scary but it turned out pretty good I think.
Now to hone it up and see how it shaves...

Sure as heck looks like Ivory to me. Ivory scales are usually very thin and don't show the dark spotting that bone does. Fabulous find and I like how it turned out, congratulations.

SRP. Where the Wits aren't always as sharp as the Razors

I have a razor with ivory scales and it is going to be a challenge to get it cleaned up, but first I must find a razor to replace the one that was butchered with a grinder. You should be proud of the job you did with that one, how does it shave?
