Gramp's Razor Restored!! :)
Hey guys-
I haven't gotten it back from Glen yet, but I'm just too thrilled right now to not share these pictures!!! This was my Grandfather's Rondinella that my Grandmother dug up from my Gramp's drawer. He passed about a year ago, so it's an absolute thrill to have such a great connection to him. Can not wait to shave with this thing and hold it in my hands!
Huge thanks Glen, I can't be happier!!! Cheers to grandfathers everywhere!

Everyone should be able to savor using grand dad's straight especially after a pro restoration but few get the chance. Enjoy your priviledge when it arrives.

I see a lot of people either passing up or tossing these blades away due to the honed out toe. In my opinion, once they're dialed in in the hones, they shave as good, sometimes better than a blade that is geometrically correct. Great razor and I'm sure that with Glen Honing it, it will shave spectacularly for years to come.
