Another great restoration! scales are superb and unusual choice of wood Enjoy!
Very well done, tried to get me one of those just recently...liking it.
great job, really like the "dull" satin finish on those big razors
Very Classy Look. Love it.
Very nice razor tastefully appointed. I hope to get one of those one day, I really like the Eagle on the American Razor. I have a W&B in Glen's hands now I can't wait to see how it comes out. Enjoy your razor!
Thanks all!
I didn't want it too flashy, just kept it clean and classy as it deserves.
He definitely brought it back to life, it probably looks better than when it first fell off the conveyor belt. 😊
Glad ya like it Jon
Here are the build specs
Scales: Black Palm Treated with Polyurethane in the Vacuum Chamber first, then CA finished a week later (eliminated many of the BP issues)
Wedge: Vintage Lead
Pins: Brass
Washers: Outer = Triple Beehive Stack Brass & SS Inner: Brass
Razor: Light polish
Honing: Chosera 1k, Henckels 1-3-8, Select Grade Coticule
Great job! :tu
O.k. ,,,O.k.,,,,,:rolleyes:
I guess if I were stuck on a deserted island, with my choice of that razor & half a clam shell to shave with,,,
I would choose the W&B razor above. :shrug:
It would be a tough decision though. :hmmm:
:D
I'd be open to giving the half a clam shell a go...with the proper honing of course. :)
