Thread: Some of My Razors are Home!

I was just looking and honestly thought that I had already posted these here. I had to do a search of my own profile to realize that I guess I hadn't. Anyways, Glen aka "gssixgun" just send me a batch of my razors back. Here are a few that he did the most work on. The others were just cleaned and honed and will come up in my SOTD posts...

I got this W.Greaves & Sons from a local antique shop that I frequent on occasion. I've gotten to know the owners and they gave me a really good deal. It had some rust and a pretty blah set of replacement scales so I/we decided to change them too. I wanted a vintage, original look and boy does it look good.

Before:




After Glen worked his magic... Here's a quote of what he did.


Scales: Translucent streaked Horn @ .105
Wedge: Vintage lead
Steel Finish: Satin Glow
Pins: NiAg
Washers: Outside / Double stacked SS Internal / Brass
Honing: Chosera 1-5-10, Select Grade Coticule finisher










This one is a 5/8 W&B Extra Hollow that I found online. Unfortunately I don't have any before pics. The scales were plain black celluloid and were not salvageable. Here's what was done.

Scales: Bone Linen Micarta @.110
Wedge: Vintage Lead
Steel Finish: Light Satin
Pins: Solid Brass
Washers: Brass In and Out
Honing: Chosera 1-5-10, Select Grade Coticule finisher







And, one more teaser. This one was basically a clean and hone but it needed a replacement hinge pin and wedge. I purchased it online and when it came the wedge didn't fit and there was a little brass bolt and nut holding it together at the blade. It's ok though because Glen fixed it for me. Lov'in me some Ducks!

Those are some great looking blades, Congratz !!
