The IXL PIPE Shop

I don't smoke but thought I might bring my Pipe along and see if I could join the club. A plain, nothin' fancy George Wostenholm Pipe 5/8 round point with Tennessee Black Walnut scales I made myself, finished with 1000k wet/dry and sealed with clear satin then waxed with Turtle Wax 100% Carnauba Blend. Not much else to say except.....nice shaver!

They shave better than they look.

I've got two pipe razors so far. The first is as I found it in an antique shop, just polished up: a 3/4 blade 1/2 hollow square point with a bit of toe wear. The second is one I restored, and am just finishing honing. An "Original Pipe Razor" done in ebony scales with a cocobolo wedge spacer. Left mild pitting for the 'old pipe' look.

A Geo. Wostenholm & Son I just picked up. Does anyone have a date of manufacture on it?

Left to right, a restored pipe razor I got from theinvisibleedge, a nice etched IXL I picked up off the bay and cleaned up a bit, and another IXL I haven't gotten around to working on yet.

Very interesting Wostenholm razor.
Never saw the price on the blade, that was made as stamp.

I'll give you double the sticker price for it

**manah** · 12-03-2009, 02:34 PM

Lee, you're very generous.
