    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!
    Aloha,

    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. 😊
