Gold Bug ~ Friodur ~ Engström ~ Greaves ~ W&B > finally done :-)

I have to admit this was a very intense project. Not only did I have to work on some of the highest ranked razors ever made but a few had their own little problems such as a twisted tang which gave me hours of headache. I think that is every restoration guru's nightmare.

But there's always light at the end of the tunnel. (or so we pray)

The greaves, Engström and W&B (which I already finished and posted last week) needed a blade restoration and polish. The Gold Bug came just perfect with most of the gold tang still intact. The Friodur had no issues except a chip in the edge.

I did get specific directions as to what scale materials to use and preferences as to third pin, wedges and adjustables.

The greaves got blessed with faux tortoise, the Engström with blue paua/acrylic, the Friodur G10 Jade Ghost, the Gold bug butterscotch micarta and the W&B blue/black G10. Off course all got a matching/contrasting tapered wedge and our choice of nickel silver/brass hardware.

All razors are going back (am I sad) to Georgia.

But I know they will be cherished, loved and well taken care off.

Enjoy.

An artist and his work... Stellar work Max. I can just see their owner dancing in the streets after seeing them. Who know what will happen when they arrive at the door. :) :tu :tu

All beautiful,,,,,but that Swede razor...WOW!

I have never wanted to have a razor with micarta until now. That Gold Bug is gorgeous. I love that razor. Amazing. Looks like it should have been made that way.

One word: WOW!

The Jade Ghost is still your friend as well it should be....did I mention I love that stuff :o. That Gold Bug........:dropjaw: so simple and clean but so.......wow! Max, please don't ever stop doing what you do and thank you so much for always sharing with us.

That Greaves takes the cake for me, perfect as per usual Max... He is a wizard I tell you

If this isn't an example of a craftsman at the top of his game, then I can't wait to see the masterworks!
This is an elegant and breathtaking display of your talent Max, and shows why you are one of the leaders in the field.
