    Default Newly Restored A.Witte, Thanks Glen!

    Well Gent's I'm pretty excited, my wife surprised me with a care package last Monday! I was on 24hr duty and besides seeing my wife and kids, my box from gemstarcustoms was the icing on the cake! I just wanted to say, "Thank you!" to gssixgun for bringing my SRs back to life, most especially, my A.Witte. The "Tangerine Dream" scales and black wedge look so clean. I love the pins too, everything just comes together so nicely. I should've wiped the blades down better (lint from my backdrop cloth), but I was excited to post the pic's. I haven't even used any of them since getting them back (I need a new strop). IMHO and my wife agrees, the A.Witte is the prize of my collection. Thank you for the beautiful job, now I can build on my rotation! I'm just happy I got to see 'em before I shipped out to CA.lol My other SR's are on the forum and you'd be able to see how the "frown" was removed from both SRs (H.boker and Keystone). I'll post before/after pic's of those when I return home. Thanks again Glen!

    That was definitely a nice blade to work with, I had tried several of the Witte Gold Bug razors but this was a first for me as well on this model... Took a really nice edge IMO, hope she treats you well for years to come...
    Now ya see how hard it is to capture the depth of the colors in the pics huh

    Enjoy...

    Definitely right Glen! I must've rolled and positioned that SR before I could finally get some good angles for the colors, but then again, I still didn't all the colors I wanted. All in all, I love it and appreciate your hard work!

    My G brother does stellar work, This one just pops. Sweet tangerine combo. Enjoy the razor. And kudos to such a lovely wife. I usually end up buying my own surprises. LOL

    Thank you Max! both wife and SR are awesome!lol She's a supporter of my hobbies, and none of this would be possible w/out her. I usually get to pick the pieces, but she gives me the thumb's up!
