I use a Chasing hammer to re-fit the inlays to the new scales

your work amazes me everytime!! I can't wait to get my duck to you. I am excited lol

**Tylerbrycen** · 05-01-2012, 04:32 AM

I might have to actually let u do that to my duck when it Comes in that's simply breathe taking

**Speedster** · 05-01-2012, 04:42 AM

Love the how-to progression of your photographs, Glen. I'm guessing your quick hint on polishing the inlays was not picked up the "easy way." Thanks for passing along your hard-fought knowledge regarding razor restorations.

Oh, and before I forget, fantastic work as always. You set the bar high, Glen!

**aircoder** · 05-01-2012, 04:53 AM

stunning just stunning!

**celticcrusader** · 05-01-2012, 05:54 AM

Great work as always Glen, both razors look absolutely fantastic.

Jamie.

**ZeroCool** · 05-01-2012, 09:38 AM

Wow Glen! They look amazing!

The DD came out better then I imagined. You definitely put a ton of work into them. Thanks again!

The SWMBO almost couldn't believe the Pritz was the same razor lol looking forward the brush too.

The next projects on their way are much tamer in comparison

**Cove5440** · 05-01-2012, 09:51 AM

Well done!

**lz6** · 05-02-2012, 02:30 AM

Thanks for the pic's Glen and story Glen. Both razors are superb additions to a collection.
