    Default John Barber in horn

    I had another visit in Zephyr's workshop last weekend, he helped me overhaul a fun John Barber.

    There was some very faint slogan on the face, it was almost impossible to read from the beginning.
    Pretty cool profile I think.

    A little pitting all over, and a couple rather bad areas.

    Horn scales, bone inlay, bone wedge. Brass peens and embellishments.

    I'm in the process of honing her up now. I will post in SOTD when I can report on how she shaves.
    I do expect it to be a nice experience
    Thanks to Rune/Zephyr, for his help in getting this old gal back in buisness

    Great save. Balanced scales to blade looks good. Looking forward to your shave of the day report. Enjoy.
