Thread: George Wostenholm Celebrated IXL Chopper in Buckeye Burl

This just in: Not only am I the proud owner of this gorgeously worked Wostenholm, but I struck a deal with the wonderful Dave (That's Cannonfodder, guys) to get that brush along with it! I am happier than a pig in shit right now, and can't wait for a full buckeye shave once these guys get in... A wonderful businessman and craftsman, Dave, couldn't be happier

Cheers,
Jeremy

Congrats that is one sweet razor and brush. let us know how it shaves.

Do not like shipping over the weekend. Having a razor sit in the post office for a couple days before it moves onto its destination is just more opportunity for it to get lost. So I had to give it the post hone shave test. Honestly, it needed a retouch (I shall ship no razor before its time). Then it needed another shave test to recheck the hone. Then you have to make sure the first shave was not a fluke so it had to get another shave test. Then It got another shave test just to make sure it was holding up good. But in the end I gave it another few passes on the finish hone to refresh the 'tested' hone job. It shaves pretty good.

Wow... You hone as much as I strop!

Thanks for the extra bit of perfection!

I just like shaving with the razor, but did not want to send it out after triple checking the hone without a light refresh. By the way, it is in the mail.

Yep thats certainly one good looking razor
