Hess 44 magnum

I know what you're thinking. "Did he dremel in six jimps or only five?" Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself. But being as this is a 44 Hess, the smoothest stainless in the world, and would cut your whiskers clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel like shaving? Well, do ya, punk?
:p



The standard Hess came as a roundpoint (it was however NOS!), and I was rather unimpressed with the overall character of the razor....I was about to simply hone it up and sell it off, and then inspiration struck....

Very nicely done! :rock:

WOW. Please don't put it in the classifieds, I want to save my money.

Great job!!!!

Dude... that is *fabulous*.

I'm really loving the layered scales. Did you "inlay" the lettering under epoxy yourself?

And those scallop jimps are absolutely fantastic.

Thanks guys. Pretty pleased with it myself.

Yes, The "Fourty Four" came off of the original scales, and I laminated it on teh new ones.

Great job keep it going

Great looking job on an awesome razor.

First, your initial write-up is great man, nothing like dirty harry references.

I really like those scales man!! I'm not a fan of gunstock shape, but the wood, the way the forty-four lays on top there. Awesome man, looks like what you shave with on a chris craft yacht. has a very retro look, which I love.

I just had to go gunstock for the 44 magnum though....:p

I like the way this one turned out with the jimps and no thumb notch. I really like that you reused the "forty four" logo on the new scales too -- nice job!

Oh Yeah, that's nice! Right on target! :tu

(And to think - I have one of your earlywerks and yes, it still delivers a Killer Shave!)

You have not only an early, but my very FIRST ever rework.

Beautiful doesn't even do it justice! :bow

I am not seeing your ad for restoration under "Member Services"

It should be there unless you used the "Invisible" font.

I don't offer it as a service. I restore some razors. I keep some, I sell some others. I don't like to work on other people's stuff....

You had me at 44 magnum. :rock:
Nice job.

That is HOT! Nice work!

it does look a bit different than the last time i saw it :)

OK Hoss!

I do admire your work, bud!

Wow another great looking razor! I definitely dig it as well as all the other razors you've done.

Great Job,

I came across a pic I took of the razor in the "before" state:
