Geo Wostenholm Frameback Vintage Restore
Here is the back story and the before Pics
http://straightrazorpalace.com/show-...tml#post635205
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

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.

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
