    Way to save a piece of history G ! You deserve that first shave

    Very impressive. I love the fact that history is preserved so well and in such respect. Really makes you wonder what these blades have seen through the ages.

    Super gorgeous work. And the razor is a piece of art and history as well.

    Nicely done. I love complete vintage restores and these old pre 1800s razors.

    Sensational job the restore Glen. I think the time taken to retain the original horn scales was well worth the effort, really nice. Love the odd blade shape. Well done.

    Jizas, that's awesome! I very much like the falchion shape of those oldies. Do say if you decide to part with the brush
