    Default Heirloom Joseph Allen 5/8 restored in Olivewood..

    These Heirlooms are always some of my favorites to do, when Brad contacted me with his Grandfathers razor, I was hoping I could get it back up and running...
    The razor is a Joseph Allen & sons Medium Hollow Ground Razor 5/8 Barbers Notch.. The old scales were trashed, and the razor had some of it's age showing... After buffing out the steel, Brad decided on Olivewood scales, which have to be one of my favorites to work on, super tight grain, and almost waterproof before you even seal them.. These have 8 coats of hand rubbed Tru-Oil on them and have a real satin sheen to them...
    The wedge is Senegal Ebony and the hardware is pure brass...
    I hope you like it Brad she will be heading home in the morning after a test shave....
