Rockin to the Oldies :p
Very, very nice as always Glen! You dunked the old timer in the fountain of youth and made him young again. You never cease to amaze with your talent with razors.
Always amazed to see tools this old imbued with new life. A fine razor, and a serious piece of history to boot!
New suit and a face lift
I could only wish that I could spruce up this good after 2 centuries with a few hours of scrubbing LOL
Very nice I love seeing the old boys coming back into the light
I really like the older ones. It looks spot on
very very nice !!
"Honing - Chosera 1-5-10, Select Coticule Finish"
having felt that progression from your hands on an OL' BOY myself im sure the owner will enjoy the shave as much as the look ...
That's gorgeous Glen.
I love the choice of scale profile. Reminds me of one of my great grampa's old plumb bob's.
Nice work, as always.
Now that's what I'm talking about Glen! Really nice original treatment of a beautiful old blade...
How's it shave?
:tu
Ready for the next 200 years and some, looks spot on.
SUPER NICE! :tu
Looks nice and snug in those brand new duds. It has "use me" written all over it. Great work again :<0)
I can't tell...did you fill in the pivot hole, use bigger pins, or am I just seeing things ?
