Very good, the scales are absolutely beautiful! I also shave with my grand-grandfather razor, makes me feel good every time I do.

Wow. I really like those scales, and now I see they're ONE piece! Supurb. And the tail and tang... and a full hollow by the look of it, obviously I like it ALL...

Sweet job Glenn. Its great to see a sentimental piece like that brought back to life.
The finish on the scales looks great and well done making them 1 piece, I imagine that would be more than a little tricky.

For me seeing a family heirloom brought back to life and put back into use... Well there is nothing better.
Good job.

Fantastic work, Glenn.
It's great to see family heirlooms restored and used.
I am jealous 'cause I can't find any of my families razors.
You should be proud.sharp likes this.Hang on and enjoy the ride...
