    Default Wostenholm with MOP

    I have this lovely razor which I figured you would like to see. A Wostenholm 5/8ths.

    There is rust as you can see but if I recall little to no hone ware which is the main thing.
    With an unusual shape to it. I'm not sure if I have seen one of these before.
    This one is packed away until its restore ticket number is called.

    The scales are beautiful MOP . It is so sad that a piece is missing from one scale, about 2cm at the tang/pin end , not photographed .

    Happy Christmas and New Year by the way

    I have spare pieces of white MOP, thiner than scales but perfect if you want to try a restoration. Just tell me. ;-)

    Nice find. One piece MOP scales is quite rare. Usually they are a couple pieces pinned to a liner. I'd take Thaeris up on his offer and try to restore that missing piece. That will be one fine looking razor once done.

    That's kind of you.
    I will probably have to buy some down the line anyway but I will let you know if I need to take you up on that offer.
    Cheers

    I'm currently restoring/customising a W&B 9/8ths.

    If I ever finish it I will bump the Wostenholm up the line.

    I did order some MOP so it will happen. Plus im looking forward to the challenge of the fixing the scales.

    2mm is the thickest I could find . The original MOP scales are a lot thicker..

    Do you think it can be glued together to make it thicker?

    Sounds like you will have to laminate 2 pieces of the 2mm MOP together to be able to fix the broken scale. I wonder if crazy glue would bond the pieces together? It seems to work decently in repairing broken/cracked ivory.

    That is going to be a very interesting project. Good luck with it and be sure to post the results.

    Cyanoacrylate adhesives/super glue won't bond MOP to itself?
