    Two more examples of class and simplicity. Great work as usual, Glen....

    Where do you stop the sanding, buffing, and polishing to achieve a satin finish like that? The two of those look great!!

    I love test shaving these old stubies, they tend to be smooth as silk on the face...
    I'm sure after YOU hone them, they are silky smooth!!! Great work.

    I have a couple of G.Johnson razors sitting on my little work bench I would love to bring to this condition someday. Very nice work indeed.

    Those two turned out just perfect, and horn just suits those old razors perfectly, great restore Glen.

    Really great restore Glen. That Greaves looks awesome. There's something about those stubtails that's enticing.
    I also like the satin look better than the mirror shine on these old razors.
