What to do with a rusty pipe razor
I got old rusty Wostenholm pipe razor with a spine covered in deep rust in a lot and was not sure what to do with it. I liked the look of some of the Thiers-Issard razors and decided to try out some semi-custom dremel work. Here's the result. I completely forgot to take before pics, as usual, but it was a pretty standard square point hollow ground. I slimmed down the stabilizer and added the thumbnotch, spanish point, and worked spine, and the scales are maple burl backed by polystyrene. Let me know what you think!

looks like a razor that could be worth 350.00 in the hands of an expert.
still looks rough now.
i would be proud if I had done that, dont get me wrong.Nubo - When you have to track down someone to unlock the doggone display case to get to the disposable razor blades, something has gone terribly wrong.

Thanked: 247What to do with a rusty pipe razor
Looks pretty good to me.
If you are happy with it, that is all that really matters. Some guys get upset about modifying old razors, but I think if it makes something work better for you, what is the harm?
