Fully buffed and polished, just a few small blems left from the pitting, Robert decided on Black Linen Micarta for the scales I added in the MOP (recon) wedge,
The pins are NiAg with Domed SS washers, internal bearing washers are Brass..
Nice heavy Sheffield steel which is honed to a smooth edge on my Select Coticule

Thanks for looking
Nice job & she's ready to shave another 100 years.
Thanks for posting. Looks great.
great job as always Glen
Very nice and classy sure do like the pins and domed washers.
Looks great! I really like the shape of the scales, understated but distinguished. A perfect combo for an old English blade IMHO....
Is that the same one I sent to you for fun? It looks too big, but I cant tell.
Very, very clean looking. This piece looks like it will give a shave that will rival any razor. Nice job.
Nice classic look to that one :) Great work once again Glen.
Clean and proper! Boy, that one just screams "heavy"! Nice work!
Very nice, another great restore!
No, that's a razor I sent Glen a few weeks ago after finding it at a flea market in Raleigh, NC for $15. The scales were split at the key pin and I ruined it further trying to clean it. The blade was in very good condition. I can't wait to show it to the seller.
Awesome work, as usual. I do love those W&Bs.
Great looking razor Glen, very well done looks perfect.
Jamie.

Your razor is a beauty! Flaunt it once you get it!
Amazing job as usual Glen!!!
It always is a good feeling seeing something so old look so good again. Very gratifying..
Well done!!

Looks like a nice clean straight well done
A G.Wostenholm, "IXL Celebrated" that origianlly came in for honing, but Robert and I decided that the scales were just too far gone, so we switched directions, and went with a Custom Restore in Bone Linen Micarta with matching Dormed SS washers and NiAg pins..
The wedge is Black Buffalo Horn, it compliments the W&B quite well IMHO :p
Honed on Chosera 1k, BBW, Select Coticule...

Good job Glen!

Thank you again, Glen. I am lucky. Now I have the yin and yang/black and white of Sheffield heavy wedges. I was thinking of having flashy scales, but just kept coming back to the classic look.
I believe, as in 'The Last Crusade', the knight said, 'You have Chosen Wisely!'. Indeed, I think you have chosen wisely.Quote:

I got these beauties in the mail yesterday. I had to show the postman what was in the little box. He was impressed.
I have shaved with both and got my first no nick, no weeper straight shave. I like that. Just as I was getting used to seeing red every morning.
