A Morley by Max

A few months ago my folks sent me down a shipment of several razors they won in an auction. I posted about it here and amongst them was a W.H Morley and Sons "Trade Mark". It had the ugliest scales (IMHO) of the lot and I also thought it was the most interesting blade. Maybe it was just the clover logo that I liked. :)

As a gift to myself I decided to send it out to Max to be rescaled and cleaned up. I asked him to use the G10 black/tan material for the scales because I think it's a wicked compliment to a mirror-finish razor. Here's one of the before pictures I took along with two of the after pictures by Max. Razor will hopefully be delivered by this weekend.

The blade is etched "Trade Mark" with the clover hallmark in the center. I really just hoped to keep the logo after the finish but Max managed to keep the text as well. Many thanks!
:y

WOWOWOWOW!
Great work Max, and congrats on owning such a great looking razor! I bet she'll shave as good as she looks!

I really like the way the scales mirror the shape of the blade on this one. Congratulations!

Max scores again. Fascinating enhancement. Congratulations!

you are absolutely right, that logo is really cool and that scale material is one of the sharpest looking IMO. I only wonder if a green and tan/cream g10 would look awesome on a clover.....hmmmm... :D

Holy Morley!! That is quite some transformation! Looks fantastic. Max is Da Man!!

Very nice! If it takes edge like my Morley, it's a da*n good shaver.
Don't forget the Lucky Clover club!

I have the before picture in the Morley razor club already. Maybe I'll take another picture when the razor comes back to update it.

You know, I'm starting to think that we need a club for people who currently have razors/scales that were done by the various SRP pros. :)

I thought I was "Da Man"... that's what Glen calls me anyways. Not that I will defend the title in any kind of way.

I meant no disrespect Dan! I've seen some of your work and have to agree with Glen that You Da Man also!! In fact, I am very impressed with the number of great restoring artists here on SRP and those budding craftsman making their way to join your ranks!

Glen, don't feel left out. I just can't think of the right words to justify your most impressive expertise yet. :bow

Amen to that. Honestly, the hardest part about this was deciding who to contact. I know that there are a ton of great artists on this site and I've paid close attention to posts specifically by Floppyshoes, Glen, Max and Philadelph in the gallery. Owning restores by the four of them are part of my razor bucket list.

Well here's an easy reminder. We have Dan 'Da man', The G 'man' and Mad Max. We still need to come up with something for Alex... :cool:

Beautiful, Max! Oh, and I agree, those "bamboo" scales seen on many different razor manufacturers do nothing whatsoever for me. Yuck.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Since we have Da Man, Gman, how about Alpha Man.

Excellent work Max,

the blade and G10 are unmistakably synthesized

Enjoy !:)

That's another seriously beautiful refurb by Max. Where does he get these powers?
