Thread: G&B

A fellow board member spotted this razor in a shop in Kosovo. When he went back to get it a couple weeks later there was a full blown riot in the street where the shop was. Even though there was a riot with police, tear gas , risking bodily harm etc. he was determined to get his razor and kept going for his prize. Makes my razor shopping lame by comparison.

After getting the razor he had to do some fancy footwork to get it past customs just to get it to me. After several weeks it arrived.

Knowing his determination to get the piece I was just as determined to get it restored for him. It was the least I could do for him.

Polished up the blade and made some scales out of Streaked Honey Horn. I copied the original scale pattern and used the original wedge and finished it up with triple stack washers.

I'm sending it to another "safer" location , specifically, Hawaii where it will wait for his arrival.

Shiny. Spotless restoration, it was rough prior to say the least. i personally love GB's in general. Nice scales.

Very nice. Another great save there sir.

Great job, I really like that mirror finish on the blade!

I remember when he posted about finding that!! Excellent work as usual sir! That streaked horn looks fantastic, very classy.

wow majic!lol

The Razor Gods are smiling, Mark.

Our Kosovo member will be richly rewarded for his unflinching pursuit of that beautiful razor. Very nice work.

very nice work !! looks wonderful !!

Team effort: One risked life and limb, the other restored it to full health.

It looks fantastic, my hat is off to you both.
