That is so nice! I shudder at the hours involved! The scales are sweet! Well worth it! These Framebacks deliver fine shaves. An 8/8 one is rare, I would think!
Very good work!Str8Shooter likes this."Don't be stubborn. You are missing out."
I rest my case.

To see an old razor brought back from the grave, is a beautiful thing. Some lucky individual will get to shave with it.

That's a pretty one Glen, can I take her out for dinner?
I believe this is the first W&B Frameback I have seen, or is it just that I haven't paid attention?Need help or tutoring? Check out the .

Wow! What a difference a bit of elbow grease and a couple slabs of horn can make. Looks nice.
