Thread: 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)

NOOO ,we must restore,we must catch up with Glen,give me 26 more years and I will surpass Him when I am 82 my edit,92

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."
