    Default Huge "Kudos" for Glen!

    About a month ago I purchased an Elderly "Wosty" from EBay and as somewhat typical, it didnt look as good as I expected when I received it. After disassembly and an enormous amount of hours hand sanding and buffing I was now ready to began honing. Started with bread boarding (nicks on edge) and after removal began trying to re-establish an edge. Smile profiles are a bitch! Essentially, I pretty much trashed the edge and I was going to toss the blade. Patience prevailed and I just couldn't toss the blade. I emailed Glen and he quickly responded to get it in the mail to him. I received the razor back yesterday, and it literally looks new and honed so nicely and sharp that I'm almost afraid to use it , but I will. Thus far I have restored/refurbished Approx. 12razors from honing, making new scales, repinning, etc only because of the expert help of all of the videos and Maestros.
    This is a great site SRP and I am grateful to all of the contributors..
    If u need help or professional honing I would highly recommend that you contact Glen for his expert services.
    Best Regards,
    BloodBath (Jim)

    Keep in mind Jim did most of this restore, that polishing was all him same with the restore on the scales, his work looked great when I got the razor..
    All I really did was correct the old hone wear and pin that puppy up

    Now granted the Honing was a bit of a bear but I was pretty happy with how even I finally got the bevel to pop
