Pins and washers are absolutely awesome.

Well done, sir!

Nice job Ben. That blade will have decades of use again.

You kept the original scales shape & the ebony is perfect for those old Sheffields... bit like a vegetable analogue of black horn. Nice polish on the pins & washers too, they almost look flush to the scales.

Hello Ben, Thanks for the photos and the name of the maker. I have not been able to find the initials on one I got in a junk shop "take the lot!" deal. The blade had been ground down to a full hollow and not in bad shape except for an end crack that will be a barber's' notch.

What a result, from such a starting point, great job

I'm sure the owner will be delighted, and treasure it forever

Very nice restore! After pinning some of my own razors and now looking at yours, I realize I have a very long way to go!!

Been waiting for this one to show up on the forums. I gotta say Ben you do some crazy good work. I have yet to talk to the gentlemen you did the restore for, but I know he is surly impressed. Glad those before photos got some use.

Beautiful work. It is always a pleasure to watch the craftsmen here bring a razor back for another 100 year run. Nice!

Well done! This razor will do the job also the next 100 years.
Thanks for sharing this pictures
