Really great work Glen. Looks clean and classy. It's owner will be very happy and singing your praises.

WOW-!! That look's amazing. I can't believe it's the same razor. You defiantly work some magic on it-!!

Nice Job Glen, W&B's are my favorites, Great Shavers.....

Should have posted this one earlier too, Remember that dirty, rusty, scratched up olé' round nose W&B you sent along :hmmm:

Yeah here it is now !!!!!

This one has a working finish, I did not take it to a mirror, just nice, clean, and shiny again...... I re-polished the slick black scales so they are actually Slick & Black again :y

Hope ya like it !!!!!

I am going to try and find the before pics, I think you sent me some....

Nice looking restores! :tu

Its like seeing them when they were brand new in the store for sale when i look at your work Glen ....

Outstanding work and immpecable pinning !

Thanks Glen,
They look great! I love the kingwood. It's got great figuring!

I love it.
It looks brand new. I cant weight to shave with a razor that is over 100 years old. I can only imagine the guy who went to the local town store & bought it all those years ago. Thank you so much for all your hard work-!!!

Awesome !!! By the glint on them black scales they must shine like an eight-ball. :tu

Great looking work Glen! When I tattoo a freehand coverup I like to take a "before" photo. We would undoubtedly appreciate your expertise even more if we saw the two juxtaposed one against the other. :tu

Thank you Jimmy, for pointing out that I am sometimes an idiot :gaah:
I really should just take some quick pics when the razors get to me, because once they go to the shop, I get way to excited when I start working on them to ever run back to the house and get the camera....

All my before photo's have to come from the bay! Once i've got hold of them i just forget to take before photo's as i'm itching to get on with them!

I think 'before' photos dwell too much on the past. The present is what matters. :p

Well that's my story & I'm stickin' to it. :rofl2:

I take progress photos, but never finish anything so it doesn't matter.

Glen I think that these scales are some of the best ones you've done recently, well balanced to the blade, aesthetically speaking. beautiful with that blade.
