The other Wostenholm
Nothing fancy here. A 13/16 near wedge blade with a crocus type finish. Nice strong makers stamp. The original horn scales were broken and were replace with a wonderful piece of honey horn, a faux ivory wedge and brass beehive collars. The horn is nice and thin at .105. Sweet shave. It has gone to a new home in Louisiana.

Nice work! It is nice when the lines are all in perfect condition to start with. You kept them all crisp and clean too. I well executed restore for sure.

When I first looked at the pics, before reading anything, I thought I was looking at two different razors. I said to myself, 'they both look really good but I prefer the top one.' The way the steel looks in the shank area of the before pic...my ideal for vintage. That said, sweet work all around, particularly the scales, beautiful.
