    Those scales really do justice to those Dovos. Classy look that makes them worth a million bucks. Great work as always Glen.

    Default Dovos in Wenge

    Hello, Glen:

    What fine workmanship on the two Renaissance razors.

    I have a Renaissance, and it's a lovely razor and a great shaver. Though quite attractive, the original scales are too too skinny even for my small hands. One of these days I think I will have mine rescaled.

    Well done, sir.

    Regards,

    Obie

    I'm going to be honest, I have never really liked the look of wenge... that said, these look absolutely fantastic and I may start looking at wenge for some projects. Hands down the best I've seen wenge look IMHO

    Great job Glen

    Default Hey those are mine

    Awesome work Glen. I cant wait to finally get a straight shave in after having to go DE for a while...well worth the wait ... those are sweet looking...thanks for taking such care of my razors and making them look as good as you did.

    I loved the razors anyway but the scales very ugly to me...but not any more...thanks man...

    Great work Glen!

    The scales really compliment the shape of the blade, and the spacers go brilliantly with the wood!

    Great work Glen! I really like the grain on that wenge.
