    Default The White Star

    So I just got my first restored razor back from Glen and what a beauty she is!

    The razor is a Cox & Co from Southampton hollow ground but branded with the White Star logo that you see on the blade. The White Star Line was the company that owned the Titanic and she sailed from Southampton on her ill-fated voyage.

    Because of the history of the blade I asked Glen to go for a nautical theme but basically left it up to him. And boy did he deliver!

    The pictures really dont do the scales justice, they look phenomenal, and the blade has cleaned up really nicely. And she is a really sweet shaver as well!

    Thanks G-Man, this is awesome work and I'm really pleased with her!

    That is a real beauty you have there. Those scales match with the blade perfectly. Being a White Star this razor of yours is unique.
    Once again Glen did perfect job here.

    Now that is a razor my wife wouldn't B&M about! She loves everything to do with the Titanic. It sure is a beautiful piece of work. I love those scales.

    Congrats Stu ! The nautical theme fits to a T but you can always trust the G-man to deliver
