Thread: A story of abuse and neglect made right

That's awesome brother, Max is a wizard... I'm convinced that he doesn't actually touch the razors he restores, he just transforms them by willpower and concentration... A wizard I tell you

Looks great! I agree that it's awesome you have a story to go with the razor, even better since it ties into your family.

Not sure if my family has any hanging around. I've seen my relatives on how they act about other family memebers' property and it's bad since they aren't even gone yet. Still, it gives me the idea to check with the family "historians" next family reunion and see if they saved any and are willing to entrust them to me.

Hell if they saved a head of red hair from the founding mother of my huge clan, they ought to have snagged a razor right?

You'd think so Ian!

Ben that's one of my shop towels. they have a hard life but are loved. I gave away my wood top workbench a few months back when space got too tight, this one is steel and I put the towels down sometimes depending on what I'm laying out. I think I have shop towel addiction too, I must have 3 boxes (milk crate size) of towels.

Thanks everybody!

That is a fantastic looking razor. The scales really suit it, nice and subtle. I like it.

Oh, I just like such family stories!
I have to agree... two totally different razors. It's new beauty shall encourage your descendant to sophisticated shavings! Well done.

Great looking peice Red
nice color choice!!

The cool thing about removing an old patina, is that you get to watch your own new one develop over the years. I've got a Genco razor that I'm looking forward to doing just that.

The striped G10 looks nice, and the matching wedge is almost hypnotic.
