A WM.Olmsted and asked for her to be cleaned up only, emphatically asking that the blade contour and bevel angles not be changed ,,, So no re-grinding just cleaning ... Using the buffers I cleaned down into the pits but could not dig them all the way out unless I could have used belts, basically the old Gal got dermabasion and not a full face lift :rofl2:
The scales were done in Amber Swirl acrylic by request, I used a Black acrylic wedge and dual pinned it by choice. All the pins and washers are Brass.. She is heading to the stones soon, I can't wait to shave this one.. I can't find the maker's mark in my books but I am guess 1840's from the looks..


I am sending him back this :)

WOW! Looks great. The old girl got some love! I must say she looks pretty mean!

Wow that's a heck of a smile for an old razor! Great job on the restore, I like that you cleaned the old girl up without robbing her of the dignity of her years.

Congratulations to both Rene and Glen, that is one beautiful smile!

Glen,
One heck of a restore :bow. Great job...I love that smile.

Rene: you lucky dawg :beer1:!!!

Glen: I don't think Rene will mind if you just send it my way :rofl2:.
