Geo Wostenholm Frameback Vintage Restore

Here is the back story and the before Pics

This was a total by hand only Vintage Restore "The Beagle" wanted to keep the age intact yet repair and restore the razor...

The razor was broken completely down and I took off or repaired all the BAD stuff but left the age of the razor behind... Honest if you look close you can see those are the same set of scales... I just straightened them and polished them out again to look like factory....

The only new parts on here are the Silver Pins and Bi-metal stacked washers


Hope ya like it Bill

good job :) These are so nice looking when left classic

Beautiful razor...nice job Glen

Bill: you lucky dawg :nono:

very well done!
Beautiful item

Glen, it looks awesome! I can't wait to see her in person, but you have definitely done yourself proud. This is a razor I look forward to using and to passing down some day... This is a classic example of age merely being a distinguishing feature!

Very nice work, thats a beautiful result. I have an old pair of scales similar to that sitting in the cupboard, it never even occured to me to sand back the bug bites and re-use them. thanks for the inspiration.

Beautiful work as always Glen! :bow

I love framebacks, and its really great that this one could keep its original scales..!

Check out some of the beauties the yer fellow country man Oz has done almost the exact same way too....He has some nice threads on here with some great Vintage Restore stuff in there...

Wonderful job!!

Gives me a great insight in how my Wostenholm will look like when it (eventually) will be restored.
Thanks for sharing!! :bow

RazorBack

Well done Glen! I do like vintage restores best.

Great job Glen. I agree with Joe. The "old ones" have that something "Special"

Gotta give a nod to Charlie "Spazola" too for some neat horn saving threads :)

New life for a beautiful razor. Wow! just Wow!

nice job takes some inner strength to know when to say when. I for one am envious.

My dear Glen:

You have the master's touch. What fine workmanship. Congratulations.

That Wostenholm, I might add, would make even the non-believer to forget his sinful ways and join the ranks of gentlemen straight razor shavers.

Regards,
Obie

Nice job Glen !! Looks great !!
