    Cool Full rebuild, Chinese stamped Sheffield ????

    I am not sure of the brand, I have seen razors like this from all the usual suspects From W&B to the Tillotson's but there were no stamps other than the Chinese Ideograms...

    The razor was well worn, so I did a full face regrind then started the restoration...

    Rick had asked for the Bahama Mama acrylic but I searched out a set of blanks that I thought looked especially like Jade and used those... I ended up with Faux Ivory for the wedge, funny story though, the first wedge just didn't work out so well, considering like an idiot I put it in backward when I built it Just could not figure out why the pivot was pushing together instead of flaring outward..

    Silver and SS by request to hold her together..
    I honed it up and found a nice small almost dead even bevel after all the work was done...

    Excellent work Glen, I especially like the material and its complements to the original shape.

    Nice!
    Not at all what I would have expected from the before pics. It looks really good all finished up.

    Oh yes...that looks really nice. I love the contrast between the "jade" acrylic and the wedge. Nice stuff!

    Wow. I thought you would have been done making rookie mistakes by now.

    I really like the jade lookin' scales on that.

    Great work bringing that one back to life Glen. I do appreciate the colors on the scales as they add a little extra something to it.

    Yet another beautiful save Glen! I never get tired of watching the old neglected razors get a new lease on life.
