"Warranted" 200 years new

That should be about right, 180-200 years ago this razor was made...
A Warranted that is actually in very good shape when our very own Modine sent it here...
Polished to a satin sheen, and snuggled into some Honey Ox Horn scales...
The scales are a older design of mine that I haven't used in over two years, I wanted a straighter look to them to fit the period that the stub-tail was made in.... But I also wanted to make them custom, so I chose what I called a "Broadsword" look to them...The horn was polished out to 12,000 grit Micro-mesh followed by Ren-Wax. The wedge is Faux Ivory and designed to still create a tang balance point...Pins and washers are Bi-metal brass and Stainless steel....

Nice one Glen :tu. You certainly brought back a 200-year old blade back to life

It makes me want to cry to see that old razor polished up shiny and in new scales.
But... the work on it is fantastic. It looks great; probably as good as it was when it was brand new.

Nice work Glen.

Very nice Glen. You certainly did justice to the old blade.
Did you get a chance to test shave with it.

Great work Glen! :tu

Thats a real golden oldie! Looks sweet!

Mine. Thank you Glen very classy.
Mike:)

Not yet Grant, Mike has a couple more here that I am still working on so I haven't honed her yet, but you could bet yer bottom dollar that I will before she leaves here :D

Excellent G brother.

Gotta love it when you can bring those old razors back to life. Superb.

Very sweet finish on those horn scales.

I'm sure the wife's gotta love the smell of you working horn. I know mine locks me up in my shop, opens up all the windows and I can hear the complaining. Once I even had a neighbor ask me if I was cooking some kind of foreign dish.

Sweet looking combo G! :tu

Perfect pairing! Another fantastic creation Glen.

So guys, what does Ox horn smell like? Burnt hair? Some of the synthetics have to be fairly funky too with the different resins used. I never thought about that. I guess the woods would smell the best. Interesting. That’s the price you pay for your art!

Mike

The Horn, Bone, and Antlers, do smell funky, AND they cling to you, the Synthetics and Woods have their own scent but they basically brush right off and the smell does too...
Max and I are always joking about it... :D

Time to "musk up", break out the sex panther.

Looks like she's good for another 200 years G man !
Break out the coticule :D

Wow. Those scale really are a good blade match. Best warranty work ever. lol

That looks great! I wonder how these old blades shave? Again, excellent job!

Looks sweet!!

I love shaving with the rally old straights. It gives a great sense of history and that is now one very sweet razor.

That is an outstanding razor!!
