Thread: Packwood razor

Got the scales looking decent again, and the decorative pins look pretty nice. So far I've honed about vintage 12 razors to shaving condition. I took a gamble, and decided to try honing this one on my own as well. I watched multiple videos on honing a smiling razor. My experience with the George Wolstenholm and Sons Razor (previous thread) was a great learning experience, and I applied what I learned to this razor too. It came away very sharp, and shaved quite nicely. However, seeing that I have a neatly trimmed beard, I found this razor a bit difficult to maintain my beard lines on account of the curve on the blade.

Nonetheless, I am happy to have this in my collection, and feel good about the progress I'm making. Attachment 225962

Very nice razor, love the scales.
Wished mine had scales like yours though

Looks good! Congrats on getting a smiling blade in to shave ready condition, that is not an easy task!

Very nice! Glad the scales were saved and they look great. Enjoy
