John Barber in horn
I had another visit in Zephyr's workshop last weekend, he helped me overhaul a fun John Barber.
There was some very faint slogan on the face, it was almost impossible to read from the beginning.
Pretty cool profile I think.
A little pitting all over, and a couple rather bad areas.
Horn scales, bone inlay, bone wedge. Brass peens and embellishments.
Centers nicely.
I'm in the process of honing her up now. I will post in SOTD when I can report on how she shaves.
I do expect it to be a nice experience
Thanks to Rune/Zephyr, for his help in getting this old gal back in buisness

Great save. Balanced scales to blade looks good. Looking forward to your shave of the day report. Enjoy.

Looks fantastic, great restore and very unusual looking scales.
