    Default Aussie Wostenholm

    This is another razor I hand sanded while I was away from home last year.
    An 11/16 Wosty with the blade etched "Made Expressly for John McKinney Toowoomba". Apparently the company is still in business, unfortunately Toowoomba has been devastated by floods this week (as has most of the state of Queensland Australia).
    The blade had some active rust, but cleaned up pretty well eventually. still a little pitting, but I didnt want to loose the etch. The original Bakelite scales were given a light sand and buffed. It got a new Ivory acrylic wedge and Nickel Silver pins and s/steel washers.
    I'm looking forward to getting this one honed and in the rotation, my first Wostenholm.
