    Default Wosty Pipe Restore - Black Horn and Faux Ivory Wedge

    Hi folks,

    Heres another restore that I just finished today.

    The blade is a 5/8" hollow ground that I cleaned up with sandpaper and micromesh and rescaled in black horn. The wedge is faux ivory and the pins are double stacked nickel and brass with brass rod.

    I'm really happy with the way this one turned out and to top it all off she was a joy to hone! I'm really looking forward to test shaving this one tomorrow.

    Hope you like it!

    Nice job Stu!

    Those scales are a perfect match for the pipe, and I like the contrasting wedge. Nice job man!

    Very nice work on the scales. That looks like a nice close custom fit between the blade and wedge when the razor is closed.

    Love the classic scales mate

    I shaved with this blade last night and boy was it a great shave..!

    With all the engraving this is a great looking little blade, but it's the shave that really makes it. It really did just wipe the hairs away. Awesome!

    Thanks for the feedback folks, much appreciated!

    Very nicely done Stu. Great fit and finish. I don't usually find time to read forums other than the Razor forum and clubs. I'm glad I checked out the new posts and this one was near the top. Keep them coming Stu!
