Great outcome from your effort, man. Some different factors acting to make it astonishing. The blade you choose have great lines and you keep the beautiful grinding marks even on tang, The scales you made are from a nice horn specimen and you nailed on keeping the epoch profile. The wedge you choose just add a unique look, quite contrasting, spot on on creativity (I'd choose a natural material or metal, pf...boring). Great pinning job and material selection too.
Simply beautiful!
Have a great shave with it!

Beautiful work on this razor well done! Not so sure about the Authentic look of the wedge, i'm sure at some point in time it supported a lead wedge. Enjoy!

Ah, no worries about the wedge. I sorta like it! Did the same on an old John Milner in my early days here.
Some did not like it. Still with it's red wedge! :tu

Thanks guys for your kind remarks, regarding the wedge well I could have gone down the more purist route and used either a lead wedge or bone If I were trying to achieve that very authentic look, but I recieved the razor with scales that were 100 years to late out of date so the only thing I had to work with was the blade, I certainly looked at more stubtail razors than I care to admit and kept the materials horn design dimensions of the scales honest, I like to think the pins and domed washers are correct looking although new so I purposely used the red acrylic wedge because it seemed a nice little decorative touch which If I'm honest I'm pleased I did and wouldn't change that.:D

Great work. Very well done all around.

Lovely razor. Great work.

Very nice restore sir.
Kept the feel of its age with the shape of scale, and the wedge is different but a good contrast.
Nice job.

Very nice, if you love it then it was done correctly. In the end that is all that matters. I make mine for me and I mostly dont follow the norm when it comes to restoring them becasue my taste is different.
You will find that there are 31 flavors of ice cream at Baskin and Robins for a reason... :tu
