Insanely sharp Wester Bros.

Hi all,

Was contemplating whether to put this in honing or somewhere else but this looked like the most relevant topic to post under. If not, maybe a moderator can move it.

Just want to say thanks to Gssixgun for his awesome honing services on my Wester Bros. De-Fi. It is blow your whiskers off sharp, so much fun to shave with.

Beyond that, I have to praise Gssixgun's awesome services, of allowing me to send him two razors while out of country and holding them for me until I returned. Even beyond that, he returned a dud, cracked razor for me that an ebay seller pulled some fancy photo editing and tricked me into buying.

Anyways, definitely check out his honing services, if you have a razor that you want to melt your beard off.

I will post pictures, just am ony phone now and it takes pretty lame quality shots.

Peace out for now.

While I could write volumes of praise for Glen's ability based on my own experiences with dealing with him, what you have written speaks more than I could ever write. Enjoy those shaves as I know that Glen (GSSIXGUN) is taking great pleasure knowing that you are appreciating his excellent work. :tu

Pictures are always appreciated! :y

In my search for razor honing, I landed on Glen and to this day it is a pure pleasure to put a razor to my face after he is done with mine, the phrase " buttery smooth " comes to mind, I don't know what he does but the whiskers just vanish ,, you got the right guy,
But Roy you do a great job too! Tc

Glen has honed a few razors for me and really does an awesome job, the before mentioned phrase 'Buttery Smooth' is an excellent description of the shaves you get from his edges.

I also had him fix a Joseph Rodgers & Sons frame back for me and the craftsmanship was excellent.

Have you seen his custom razors? Awesome!!

Slightly off topic, but I seem to run across a lot of the Western Bros. Branded razors. They all seem to take a very nice edge as well.

Glad to hear it. Wow, he helped you with a return? That is awesome.
I would recommend leaving a comment for him at the bottom of his service page. That gives other potential customers a chance to see what people think of his work.

I sent two W&B's to Glenn for honing. He did a great job with a quick turnaround. Since I am still learning, the razors area actually giving me a SMOOTHER shave the more I use them.


I'm working on honing some of my own razors now, so it is nice to have a standard for comparison. I followed his suggestion on spending more time on the lower grit stones and it has made a big difference.

I have not had a razor honed by Glen, but everyone I speak to complements his edges.
Wester Bros razors are also great!

Atta-Boy, Glen!

(can I send you a few which are eating my lunch now? :rofl2:)

I have had the privilege of meeting and learning a bit from Glen this year at the Rock Mtn GTG and could not have said it better myself. He has a very good hand with just about any razor on any stone....and can tech patiently. On a side note...he's a pretty entertaining gent as well!

Here is a picture, as promised of the razors. Sorry for the image rotation, can't seem to get it vertical despite rotating my file various different ways...

Yessir, when he received it, it was cracked and he let me know right away that it sucked and that I should ask for a refund. So I sent him the return label and he mailed it back for me! Thanks for the recommendation, will try to leave a post on his service page.

My second razor was a Wester Bros Fraternity no 33, and it remains one of my favorite & most dependable shavers. A pleasure to hone, strop, and use.
