G. Wostenholm & Son. I XL. Restore complete
Well. I finally finished the third razor of the Ebay 3, and I think it is by far the best of them. A quick strop and it is shave ready. I shaved with it this morning as the first shave with it, and it was like silk. Absolutely the smoothest cleanest shave with a straight to date.

This one is the G. Wostenholm & Son. I XL
The scales are hand made of Brazillian Ironwood, a beautifully grained deep chocolate brown.
Have to say, this is a very hard wood to work with, but it polishes up nicely. This one was polished up to 600 grit wet paper then buffed with stropping compound on a dremel, then rubbed with liquid wax polish to a satin sheen that is soft as silk.
The wedge is solid brass and the pins also.
