F. Reynolds,,, re-do?
I've been a 'lurking' member for some time and Glenn said to me " just jump in" ... so here I am.
A friend sent me this razor which should have been passed on. But I enjoy a challenge. As you can see the hone wear was something awful. I reshaped the blade a bit, polished it up and made up some Cocobolo scales with a single pin hidden under the Ivory insert. Granted ,, with the wear, and the work I did it does require taping to maintain a proper edge geometry,,,but it works!

Good save. Make sure you get to shave before you return it. My Frederick Reynolds wedge, while the heaviest of my collection, is one of the best shavers. You'll love it.
Well done.
Adam.

That is perfectly freakin wonderful. The scales are so excellent, I just love the geometric contrast given by the inlay. I appreciate talent. Thanks for sharing.
Don't get hung up on hanging hairs.

That is a really beautiful razor! Nice work!
I too have been a 'lurker' but you have inspired me to post!
I found a Frederick Reynolds wedge a few months ago with no scales on it. I had it redone.......I'm not as brave as you so I got the help of a pro
. (Brad Maggard at Maggard Razors) He did a GREAT job! It is a beautiful razor and is a very smooth shaver.
This is my first post, I'll start a thread and try to figure out how to post some pics.
It's good to be part of the forum!
