Heirloom Restoration - 11/16 H.Keschner "Diamond" in Ebony

An Heirloom restore coming off the bench for Matt this week this is his Grandfathers razor a really nice "Diamond" in near perfect condition now...

I polished out the blade to a near perfect satin and replaced the old plain jane slick black scales with Ebony by request, that was finished with Perma-Lyn...
The wedge is actually a grey white marble acrylic the pins and washers are NiAg and SS by request and domed by my choice...

I can't wait to test shave this razor as it is one that fits my personal favorites to a tee I love the size, grind, and point....Matt your grandfather obviously had great taste in razors :)

Looks great Glen. May I ask what you use to dome your washers?

Glen, that is awesome. My Grandfather passed in the 80's but I'm sure he'd be as impressed as I am... you've turned a negleged "Diamond in the rough" into... well, a DIAMOND.

I am almost as eager to try your honing (as a benchmark for my own efforts) as I am to have the razor back!

Thanks again, I'm really pleased and I suspect my satisfaction will increase once she's back home.

Matt

Beautiful! Clean and simple design really shows off the blade!

Congrats Matt... that is indeed a very special razor. Knowing it was in your grand dad's hands makes it the "best" razor you will ever own. Thanks Glen for sharing another one of your masterpieces.

As a fan of the satin finish. Let me just say :rock::bow:beer1:
