Thanks for looking
Nice :) Well done.
Very Nice Glen :tu
I really feel that work like that isn't something that you can 'learn' it has to be a gift that one is born with!
Unfortunately it's a gift that I can only wish I had!
Before 3 October 1990
Lovely blade and scales!

Yep! He has done some fine work for me in the past. I like to think I'm a little inventive but he has a lot more imagination and craftsmanship than I could ever hope to have....NICE WORK GLEN!
Super clean! :tu
That is some fine work! Makes my Dovo look like a $2 ho in a leopard print mini skirt...
Straight to the point !Quote:

I'd love to learn how to transfer an inlay that precisely someday.

Nice job, Bravo
Glen, this razor arrived in my mailbox today and is even more impressive than in the photos. Many, many thanks!
Guys, this is the third razor Glen has restored for me--beautiful work is apparently his trademark!
RE: the last photoI spent the first 3 years of my military life stationed in Bamberg, at that time in the Deutsche Bundesrepublik. My wife and I spent a long weekend in Berlin in May 1985, did the East Berlin afternoon bus tour (which was totally surreal), and came away convinced that that system would eventually implode someday, but we figured we'd be in our 60s before that happened (we were 35 at the time). Instead, it dried up and blew away almost overnight 5 years later.
I was actually there on border duty when the wall came down.

Oh, man--what was that like?Quote:

People came up to the interior fences and waved at us. Prior to that - we never saw anyone but East German military - if a civilian had approached the inner fence they would have been arrested at a minimum. Very cool couple of weeks.

Sorry that went away from the topic
Very nice restore. I like the vintage, clean look. Yes, you have serious skills.
:wApparently, whatever math skills I developed in the field artillery have faded; my wife and I were 25, not 35, when we toured East Berlin. :wQuote:
