    Yes, a beauty. You started with a great piece. Lots of rare things here, respectfully executed. Quite admirable work!

    Definitely a great looking blade and those scales really accentuate it. Well done.

    If it were mine I'm sure I would. I'll give it a pass or two tonight before sending it back. I too love the old scales or ones made to resemble them. For some reason the lime green micarta wouldn't do this piece justice.

    You just can’t beat having an heirloom in the family!!! I have my Great Grandfathers W&B Near Full Wedge that Glen did a fantastic job of saving! Some battle scars, but I couldn’t part with it for love or money!! I love to shave with it just to think about what my grandfather thought when he used it!

    I’m also blessed with having in my possession several different razors that were given to my people who knew their history of their families blades but didn’t want to pass them along to family as they feared they’d just get tossed or neglected!! Two of them are in the boxes they came in and one box identifies it as being purchased in a now defunct business in the town I live in! It was presented to my by a gentleman who is in his late 80’s and it was his grandfathers! The other with the coffin case was an old friend’s grandfathers.

    I do hope the customer treasures it as much as I do mine, especially my great grandfathers!
