    Glen makes you almost NOT want to restore anything yourself!
    His work is impeccable!

    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

    Glen ,
    I should have had u sign the razor, I'm honored that YOU did such a masterfull "tune-up-shaved with it this morning , almost full face, damn sharp, only 1 6" laceration, damn near a BloodBath, need to be more careful with those smile profiles.
    Thanks again,
    Jim

    I think most of us owe a huge kudos to Glen...or at least I do. While there are many wonderful contributors to SRP who also deserve similar praise, it is mainly Glen's posts and videos that taught me how to restore and hone. I use the one razor he sharpened for me as my benchmark. In other words, I know a razor isn't ready until it pops hairs and shaves as smoothly as his edge!

    +2 kudos from me :<0) He does great work and he will also help you learn to do the same.
    It reminds me of the saying..." give a man a fish and he eats well 1 day. Teach a man to fish and he can sit in the boat and drink all day on his own."
    Good judgment comes from experience, and experience....well that comes from poor judgment.

    I agree Glenn's videos have been a great resource for me. His video on how to hone a smiley blade is masterful
    Straight razor shaving is like motorcycling both require full attention and continuos learning and honing of skills...
