    Smile Teer & Webster restore...my first!

    Hello everyone,

    First I would like to say what a great forum this is! I've been lurking in the shadows for quite awhile learning all I can from everyone. Thanks! Here is my first restored razor that I won from Ebay awhile back. It was in pretty rough shape with some fairly deep pitting, which I chose not to remove completely in order to preserve the engravings. Scales are birds-eye maple with a brass wedge and pins. The inlay was made from black mother of pearl and leftover tiles that I constructed for guitar rosettes. I still need to hone it and give it a try! I'm looking forward to doing more! Does anyone have information on Teer & Webster razors? I've looked online and in my books and can't come up with anything. I'd like to know when they were manufactured.

    Thanks,
    Matt

    All I can say is that you did a much more beautiful job than I did with my first restore. Excellent work.

    Very nicely done!! If this was your first restore I am anxious to see your future work. Keep them coming, you've got the talent to do great things!
