    Looks great. I love blades with history esp. family history.

    Real nice razor. Love the scales and the story.
    My Uncle has been teasing me that he has his Grandfathers straight razor that he'll give me. He just has to dig it out of the basement. Driving me nuts wondering what it is. He would have been a barber in the late 1800's.

    Great looking razor and restore.

    I would have loved to have used my grandfathers old razors. I was talking to my mother the other day and she said that he used to have one. Now I need to go to Greece to find it lol.

    Still have not had a chance to hone it. To busy making razors for other people.

    The scales are just plastic and the wedge is the original white plastic which has turned yellow from age. The tip is a bit rolled and there is moderate hone ware on the blade but everything is still straight and true. It should hone nicely. I have another Genco and they are quite good shaving razors. I expect this one to be similar.

    cannonfodder,

    The scales look like the same material that can be used as a gun grip??
    Would be interested to know where i could get my hands on that......
