    Wow, I admire your patience on that one. I'd have given up pretty much the second I would see such pitting.
    It's great that you guys can bring these blades back to life. The anchor intrigues me. I've had 2 GB Anchor-Cross' so far and one very huge Wade and Butcher with an anchor, but I've never seen only an anchor and no makers mark. Birmingham perhaps? Thanks for sharing. Amazing work.

    Nice resto, you really brought that back to life. That pitting looked terrible before you finished it, no wonder you almost gave up! Can I ask how many hours went into it?

    Thanks guys! I appreciate the nice words...

    Firefighter2 ... as to how many hours went into this razor, I couldn't really say. I really don't keep track of the hours or the time involved in any razor. I just work on it until I am as happy as I can be with what I am capable of accomplishing.

    It arrived in the mail today...stunning...and I can't wait to try the Coti/Escher edge, then stropped on a lead treated strop by Wolfpack...this may set of all sorts of AD's...my next shave will be with it and will post on the SOTD!

    Thank-you Mike!!!

    Wow! That is truly remarkable. I wouldn't have thought those after pics were possible given the condition of that blade.

    Makes me really excited to see what you do with my Wostenholm!
