Thanks for looking

I really like it Glenn. I wish I had something more eloquent to say, but that's the plain and simple truth of it. Very well done IMHO.

Can't wait to shave with that baby! Looks very good Glenn. You did an astonishing job!!

Well done. Your workmanship compliments a beautiful piece of material. Fine work again.

That honey horn is outstanding. It's got a beautiful colour. I like that little portion on the non-stamped side of the blade that almost turns blonde near the toe.

Don't mind the Starrett either! :D

The colors in that horn is beautiful - Love it!

Oustanding work as always, some day I hope to accomplish the skills of you more experienced guys!

Your an inspiration Glenn

If the original manufacturer saw that he would probably go home and slap his dad for not teaching him to do that kind of work. Another outstanding job. Your restorations never cease to amaze me.

All I can say is WOW, but I've come to expect that from you. Never cease to amaze me Glen.

Beautiful work Glen, the horn scales look super, and a great looking wedge.

Jamie.

Amazing, simply amazing. I think I have figured out how I am going to keep busy while looking for work when I move.

Oh boy, if you get more of that horn material there, I'll probably need to send you another FR razor! That's very nice looking.

It was so hard to decide which way to do that part too, I kept flipping the blanks trying to figure which I wanted on the front, I finally went with it this way, because you can see the blade through the scales with the razor in hand :shrug:

Fantastic work once again Glen! And that is a fine looking piece of horn

Really good looking Glen. I love horn anyway, but that is just beautiful. Oh Yeah, nice razor too!!!

You are the master my friend!!

Good God, Glen, that is one if the most gorgeous razors I've ever seen. Feel free to send it to me ;)

I hate it.....























that this razor isn't mine! You've done another fine piece of work, Glen. That horn is spectacular.

Hey Glen ! Nice work there! :tu
I have to ask ... is there anything classier than translucent horn? It is just georgeous!
Did you do any re-grinding on that blade or was it just that good that polishing was enough?
Just curious as I'm still thinking about that Joseph Rodgers i got.
Thanks for sharing.
Regards,
Mike

Sweet restoration !!! that Starrett is sweet as well!!

No regrinding Mike, that was all on the buffers, I would have been very very reluctant to re-grind a near wedge like that, I am not sure of the grind names below the 1/4 hollow, or even if there are any, besides "Near Wedge" This one was very very close to being a full wedge though and they are rather rare in those really heavy profiles... I see alot in what I call a 1/8 hollow (probably no such name ) but this was more wedgey (is that even a word) :) So it deserved every attempt to save the heavy blade... IMHO anyway

Classic sixgun... way to go G - very classy

I love the color of that horn. Great looking razor!

Another fine Sheffield brought back to life. I love that classic look. Keep posting more Sheffield pr0n. Thanks!
