Thread: Wedge razor club

Here is my first foray into the razor clubs. It is a J Wostenholm.

My entry into wedges, a Case Red Imp 132.

come on gentlemen step right up, step right up. A troubling situation has arrived in the razor club and that is the use of thumbnail pictures. I know that some of you old timers still remember when the razor clubs were a thing of beauty! with large glossy pictures of razors and we viewed until our hearts content. but those days are through it would seem. I beseech all the members of the razor clubs to take the poll in the general section and vote to restore large pictures to our beloved razor clubs. It is up to us gent and together we can restore these clubs to there former glory!!!!!!

Thanks,

very nicely restored

Thought the thread could use a little bumpage. There are pics elsewhere in the site, but more pics never hurt anyone... Right?

This is by far one of the coolest razors I've ever seen. And I LOVE the pinning! (May I steal the idea for my next restoration?)

I just posted this in the I*XL Pipe Shop Club...

Wostenholm (1815-1823).
Restoration by Gary Alfonso (Traveller).

It's the wedgiest wedge I've owned. Usually I can still see a tiny sliver of light if I hold a business or credit card edge against the blade face of one of my almost-wedges. But this baby has zero light. It's a straight wedge. And I can't wait to give it a whirl! Soon...

Thanks for the kind words here too. I actually didn't do any of the work on this blade. The scales (and I believe the resto) were done by FloppyShoes. He commented in the BST thread where I picked the Savage up that he was embarrassed by the quality of his work. Honing (and maybe the resto; I really don't know) was done by DylanDog (I'm 98% sure that's his username; I assumed his real name was Dylan, but it's not).
