Two old razors back in action
Here are two razors I have recently restored and honed: a 5/8 Macpherson & Son of Montreal "Triumph 86" half hollow in custom scales and a 6/8 bellied full hollow in horn scales by an unknown manufacturer - labelled "The Westminster" and retailed by Ayrton & Saunders of Liverpool.
The custom scales are stabilized pearwood inlaid with Australian red cedar on one side and Huon pine on the other. The Macpherson blade was supplied by johnmrson and the Westminster was an antique shop find.
Both razors were honed on a progression of 1k, 2k, 4k, 8k and 16k Shapton glass stones and stropped on a 3" English bridle from Straight Razor Designs.
