Thomas Ellin & Co. Vulcan Cast Steel restoration
Fresh off the workbench is this Thomas Ellin & Co., Vulcan Cast Steel. I made the macassar ebony scales for it, homemade solid brass dome collars, nickel silver pins, and used the original lead wedge. I didn't use any finish on the scales, opting to leave them "raw" as this wood is very dense and oily enough to protect itself. So it has a nice warm, natural feel in hand and the hope is that they develop a "hand worn" look over time. I do enjoy these "rattler" grinds with the slight smile. It was finished on the yellow/green side of the thuringian in the picture. I should be set for a terrific shave in the near future. Thanks for checking it out....
